| Cerro Zeballos | Brandoni D., González Ruiz L., et al (2019) | Collón Curá | Brandoni et al. 2017: The new specimen presented here as ‘Xyophorus’ sp. (LIEB PV 5129) has a DL/TRL index of ca. 14, this value being larger than the index for ‘X.’ villarroeli (12.07) from the Mauri Formation (ca. 10.3 Ma), but smaller than the value for ‘X.’ bondesioi (16.45) from Arroyo Chasicó Formation (ca. 10–8.7 Ma) (Table 1, Figure 6). Following the relationship between DL/TRL index and age proposed by Brandoni (2014), where the value of the index would decrease with the age of the bear | sandstone | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
