| Quebrada Los Gatos | Benedetto J. L. (2012) | San Juan | The age of the uppermost nodular limestones of the San Juan Formation is well constrained by conodonts belonging to the Paroistodus horridus Subzone of the Lenodus variabilis Zone (Ottone et al. 1999; Albanesi & Ortega 2002), of early Darriwilian age (Fig. 1). The immediately overlying black shales (lower member of the Los Azules Formation) have yielded a graptolite assemblage referred to as the Undulograptus dentatus Biozone, whereas the topmost beds of the San Juan Formation contain Undulograp | "limestone" | 467.3 - 458.4 Ma Middle Ordovician |
