| Cerro Negro | Simpson G. G. (1967) | Casamayoran SALMA. Cifelli (1985) gives a faunal list but no explicit discussion of this site's age. Because all of its taxa are shared with the Barrancan fauna of Gran Barranca and none with the Vacan fauna of Cañadón Vaca, it is allocated to the Barrancan here. The Barrancan is Middle Eocene according to Woodburne et al. (2014). | not reported | 48.6 - 37.2 Ma Eocene | |
