San Roque | Ortiz P. E., García López D. A., et al (2012) | Uquía | This lithological pattern matches with that described by Reguero et al. (2007) for the Middle Unit of Uquía Formation at the locality of Esquina Blanca, and suggests a probable correspondence with this unit. Nevertheless, since Uquía Formation is faulted and folded, and that the outcrops of San Roque and Esquina Blanca are distant by about 5 km, this relationship cannot be completely confirme These authors stated that the top of the Middle Unit is marked by the “U1 tuff,” dated in ~2.5 Ma, im | sandstone | 3.6 - 2.588 Ma Cenozoic |
