| STRI Loc. 290423 [bulk#1] - Paráguachon [lower Castilletes Fm] | Hendy A. J. W., Jones D. S., et al (2015) | Castilletes - lower Castilletes | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Castilletes Formation, which conformably overlies the Jimol Formation (early Miocene) and is unconformably overlain by the Ware Formation. AGE: Burdigalian-Langhian, on the basis of macrofaunal composition and stratigraphic position; direct age established by extrapolation of Sr-isotope dating by enterer. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Likely in lower part of the Castilletes Fm, but in a faulted part of the sequence; from 49 m above Jimol/Castilletes contact. | siltstone | 20.44 - 13.82 Ma Miocene |
