This formation is composed of a basal conglomerate (“Conglomerado osifero”) with abundant vertebrate remains which is overlain by almost unfossiliferous whitish to yellow brown sandstones and green mudstones. Terrigenous Pleistocene (Ensenadan to Lujanian in the southern South American continental scale; see Cione and Tonni, 1995, 1996, 2001; Fig. 2), poorly fossiliferous beds assigned to different unitsoverlaytheItuzaingoFormation (Aceño | conglomerate | 9 - 6.8 Ma Miocene |
