| Telen (Melchor, 2000) | Montalvo C. I., Melchor R. N., et al (2008) | Cerro Azul | The Cerro Azul Formation crops out in most of La Pampa Province, except in the southern region (Linares et al., 1980). It is a continental, nearly flat-lying unit composed of massive, pale red to pinkish siltstones and fine-grained sandstones with interbedded, poorly developed palaeosols (e.g., Linares et al., 1980; Goin et al., 2000). This lithostratigraphic unit is considered the distal portion of a clastic wedge related to the late Cenozoic Andean fold and thrust belt that is well developed i | siltstone | 9 - 6.8 Ma Miocene |
