A succession of pink orthoquartzites of Candelaria Formation, probably of marine origin, appearing in angular unconformity on the crystalline basement (Medina formation), by a conglomerate of the base, with boulders of quartz and shale, which reach up to 15 cm. in diameter and overlap which pink and off-white, sometimes mottled brown orthoquartzites; they are highly consolidated and tenacious. Presenting a thicker granulometry on the base can be seen. They are laminated in banks of 0.20 to 0.60 m thick, with well developed cross-linked lamination. They are highly diaclased and folded. They appear in two outcrops isolated on the eastern slope of the Sierra del Campo, southwest of the town of Requelme. The base of this unit is not observed in the easternmost outcropping. This presents strong inclinations between 60° and 70° which contrast markedly with the soft slopes of overlying formations.
