Lithology description: "the fossiliferous layer is intercalated between grayish clays with abundant vegetal remains, tubular bioturbation, and carbonate concretions...The vertebrate remains occur in a coarse sandy layer (0.8 m thick) with abundant intraclasts, bones, and large trunk debris at the base" | |

Geology comments: "mainly fluvial", with clays "representing abandoned alluvial plains, with subaerial exposure, vegetal colonization, and pedogenesis" and fossil layer "representing a high-energy channel with a coarser lag deposit." |
