STRI Loc. 290600 - Shirrua [Uipta Fm] | Hendy A. J. W., Jones D. S., et al (2015) | Uipta | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Uipta Formation, which unconformably overlies the Siamana Formation (late Oligocene-early Miocene) and is conformably overlain by the Jimol Formation (early-middle Miocene). AGE: Burdigalian, on the basis of stratigraphic position and constrained by Sr-isotope dating of enterer; while the formation is probably Aquitanian-Burdigalian, the collection is placed in the Burdigalian on the basis of stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From the uppermost par | mudstone | 20.44 - 15.97 Ma Miocene |
