| Loc. 4 - Punta Alta | Covacevich V., Frassinetti D. (1986) | Navidad | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Navidad Fm, for which lithostratigraphic relationships are not discussed (in english) in text. AGE: The age of the Navidad Formation and equivalent units has been a matter of debate for decades (see Guti茅rrez et al. 2013; Finger et al. 2013, and Le Roux et al. 2013; references therein). An early Miocene age for the Navidad Formation was derived from studies on mollusks, shark teeth, Sr isotopes, and radiometric (Ar/Ar and K/Ar) dating of volcanic clasts in this | "siliciclastic" | 20.44 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
