Waypoint 17, Punta Pardeles | Casadio S., Feldmann R. M., et al (2005) | Puerto Madryn | More recently Scasso et al. (2001) used 87Sr/86Sr dating to refer the Puerto Madryn Formation to the earliest late Miocene (middle Tortonian, 10 ± 0.3 Ma). These values are close to those reported by Zinsmeister et al. (1981), who published a 40K/40Ar age of 9.4 Ma for the uppermost beds of this unit. | sandstone | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
