Also known as Obere Pampa Schichten
Where: La Paz, Bolivia (15.5° S, 68.0° W: paleocoordinates 54.9° S, 109.8° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• basin-level geographic resolution
When: Pampa Formation, Ludlow to Ludlow (427.4 - 419.2 Ma)
• Wolfart gives age as Silurian. Fossils are not found near what is thought to be the Silurian/Devonian boundary, so it is hard to locate boundary precisely within the Pampa Beds. Overlying beds are Catavi; the oldest of these are thought to be Pridolian (see PBDB coll. 25584).
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; shale and sandstone
