| Punta Gavilán Formation (unspecified localities) | Woodring W. P. (1957) | Punta Gavilán | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Punta Gavilán Formation, for which lithsotratigraphic relations are not discussed. AGE: Early Pliocene; this has been correlated with the Globorotalia margarita Zone by Diaz de Gamero (1970), which is early Pliocene in age. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within section. | "siliciclastic" | 5.333 - 3.6 Ma Neogene |
| Falcón [El Veral Fm] | Woodring W. P. (1973) | El Veral | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the El Veral Formation, for which lithsotratigraphic relations are not discussed. AGE: Late Miocene. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within section. | "siliciclastic" | 11.608 - 5.333 Ma Miocene |
| Falcón [Urumaco Fm] | Woodring W. P. (1982) | Urumaco | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Urumaco Formation, for which lithsotratigraphic relations are not discussed. AGE: Late Miocene in Venezuelan Lexicon; Middle-Late Miocene in Woodring (1982). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within section. | "siliciclastic" | 11.608 - 5.333 Ma Miocene |
| Caujarao Formation (unspecified localities) | Woodring W. P. (1959) | Caujarao | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Caujarao Formation, for which lithsotratigraphic relations are not discussed. AGE: Middle Miocene in Woodring (1982); Late Miocene according to Bolli (1970), Hunter (1978), and Jung (1989); Diaz de Gamero (1977) considered the unit to be correlated with the late Miocene Globorotalia acostaensis Zone [=Tortonian]. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Collection is a composite for the formation. | "siliciclastic" | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
