Cucullaea I | Pujana R. R., Santillana S. N., et al (2014) | La Meseta - Cucullaea I | Most recent studies (Montes et al., 2010), although still in progress, indicate that the lower and middle parts of the La Meseta Formation (Valle de las Focas, Acantilados, Campamento, Cucullaea I and the lower part of Cucullaea II allomembers) were deposited during the early Eocene and sedimentation may have begun as early as late Paleocene. | mudstone | 55.8 - 48.6 Ma Eocene |
