A., et al (1994) | La Meseta - Telm 4 | Telm 4 of Sadler 1988; Unit II of Elliot & Trautman 1982; Cucullaea I Allomember (Reguero et al 2012); he age of this horizon of ca. 52.5 Ma (Ypresian) is indicated by the strontium stratigraphy based on the 87Sr/86Sr ratios of carbonate shells of the overlying beds of the Cucullaea I Allomember and it is consistent with paleomagnetic and biostratigraphic data (Montes et al. 2010)(Fig. 2). (Reguero et al 2012). Age based on Buono et al 2016. In summary, considering that 87Sr/86Sr ratios | sandstone | 47.8 - 38 Ma Eocene |
