| Location 54g, Gatun Lake area (Caimito Formation) - Woodring (1957) | Woodring W. P. (1964) | Caimito - Middle | From middle member. Three members of the Caimito Formation are recognized in the Gatun Lake area: lower, middle, and upper. The lower member is predominantly conglomerate and tuffaceous sandstone; the middle member consists of tuffaceous sandstone; the upper member comprises tuff and tuffaceous siltstone. The thickness of the Caimito Formation in the Gatun Lake area is around 300 m or more. Larger foraminifera support a late Oligocene age; corals favor a late Oligocene age, although early Miocen | sandstone | 28.4 - 23.03 Ma Cenozoic |
