| ET1 - Puerto Madryn Fm | Scasso R.A, McArthur J.M, et al (2001) | Puerto Madryn | 2.5 metre thick complex coquina with erosive base at base of section. Comprises a 200 m thick sequence of coquina, cross-bedded sandstones with mud-drapes, mudstones with heterolithic lamination, and laminated or massive, totally bioturbated mudstones. The age of these deposits has been formerly recognized to be as old as Eocene and early Miocene. | "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic" | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
| ET13 - Puerto Madryn Fm | Scasso R.A, McArthur J.M, et al (2001) | Puerto Madryn | At the top of a 5 m thick complex coquina. Comprises a 200 m thick sequence of coquina, cross-bedded sandstones with mud-drapes, mudstones with heterolithic lamination, and laminated or massive, totally bioturbated mudstones. The age of these deposits has been formerly recognized to be as old as Eocene and early Miocene. | "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic" | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
| ET14 - Puerto Madryn Fm | Scasso R.A, McArthur J.M, et al (2001) | Puerto Madryn | 0.5 m thick, shell-supported coquina with erosive base. Comprises a 200 m thick sequence of coquina, cross-bedded sandstones with mud-drapes, mudstones with heterolithic lamination, and laminated or massive, totally bioturbated mudstones. The age of these deposits has been formerly recognized to be as old as Eocene and early Miocene. | "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic" | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
| ET2 - Puerto Madryn Fm | Scasso R.A, McArthur J.M, et al (2001) | Puerto Madryn | ET2 consists of a 1.5 m thick fossiliferous bed with erosive base. Comprises a 200 m thick sequence of coquina, cross-bedded sandstones with mud-drapes, mudstones with heterolithic lamination, and laminated or massive, totally bioturbated mudstones. The age of these deposits has been formerly recognized to be as old as Eocene and early Miocene. | sandstone | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
| PP1 - Puerto Madryn Fm | Scasso R.A, McArthur J.M, et al (2001) | Puerto Madryn | Collected from base of section. Comprises a 200 m thick sequence of coquina, cross-bedded sandstones with mud-drapes, mudstones with heterolithic lamination, and laminated or massive, totally bioturbated mudstones. The age of these deposits has been formerly recognized to be as old as Eocene and early Miocene. | "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic" | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
| PP2 - Puerto Madryn Fm | Scasso R.A, McArthur J.M, et al (2001) | Puerto Madryn | Collected from top of section within a 1 m thick coquina with an erosive base, 50 m above PP1. Comprises a 200 m thick sequence of coquina, cross-bedded sandstones with mud-drapes, mudstones with heterolithic lamination, and laminated or massive, totally bioturbated mudstones. The age of these deposits has been formerly recognized to be as old as Eocene and early Miocene. | "mixed carbonate-siliciclastic" | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
