STRI Loc. 290400 - Sillamana [Uipta Fm] | Hendy A. J. W., Jones D. S., et al (2015) | Uipta | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Uipta Formation, which unconformably overlies the Siamana Formation (late Oligocene-early Miocene) and is conformably overlain by the Jimol Formation (early-middle Miocene). AGE: Aquitanian-Burdigalian, on the basis of stratigraphic position and constrained by Sr-isotope dating of enterer. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From an unknown part of Uipta Fm. | sandstone | 23.03 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
