| Bahia Carrizo [El Nuro Mbr, Taime Fm] | DeVries T. J. (1988) | Taime - El Nuro | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the El Nuro Mbr of the Taime Fm, which overlies the Golf Course Mbr, and further unconformably overlies paleogene bedrock, and is unconformably overlain by the Mancora Tablazo. AGE: Likely to be lowermost Pleistocene, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy and stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unclear from what part of the member the collection is derived, so collection should be considered a composite list for the member. | "siliciclastic" | 2.588 - 0.781 Ma Pleistocene |
| Bahia Taime [Mancora Tablazo Fm] | DeVries T. J. (1988) | Mancora Tablazo | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Mancora Tablazo Fm, which unconformably overlies the Taime Fm, and is unconformably overlain by the Talara Tablazo. AGE: Early Pleistocene, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unclear from what part of the formation the collection is derived, so collection should be considered a composite list for the formation. | "siliciclastic" | 2.588 - 0.781 Ma Pleistocene |
| Bahia Carrizo [Carrizo Mbr, Taime Fm] | DeVries T. J. (1988) | Taime - Carrizo | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Carrizo Mbr of the Taime Fm, which unconformably overlies paleogene bedrock, and is unconformably overlain by the Mancora Tablazo. AGE: Pliocene, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unclear from what part of the member the collection is derived, so collection should be considered a composite list for the member. | "siliciclastic" | 3.6 - 2.588 Ma Cenozoic |
| Bahia Carrizo [Golf Course Mbr, Taime Fm] | DeVries T. J. (1988) | Taime - Golf Course | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Golf Course Mbr of the Taime Fm, which overlies the Carizzo Mbr, but unconformably overlies paleogene bedrock, and is unconformably overlain by the Mancora Tablazo. AGE: Pliocene, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unclear from what part of the member the collection is derived, so collection should be considered a composite list for the member. | "siliciclastic" | 3.6 - 2.588 Ma Cenozoic |
