| Locality 29, Elephant Mesa - Beal (1948) | Beal C. H. (1948) | Ysidro | The Ysidro Formation consists of dirty-white sandstone, underlying the Comondu Formation. The formation varies in lithology from place to place and apparently becomes more tuffaceous towards the gulf coast. The formation can be subdivided into two members, a lower shale member and an upper sandstone member. | sandstone | 23.03 - 11.608 Ma Miocene |
