| Negritos [Saman Conglomerate, Saman Fm] | Olsson A. A. (1928) | Saman - Saman Conglomerate | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Saman Conglomerate of the Saman Fm, which regionally overlies the Restin Fm of the Parinas Gp (Middle Eocene). AGE: Late Eocene (p. 9), on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy. Foraminifera suggest an upper Eocene age. Olsson states that the Talara and Saman rocks can be referred to the Upper Eocene and in terms of the European section, to the Bartonian and Ludian.....respectively? STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation. | conglomerate | 37.2 - 33.9 Ma Paleogene |
| Lomitos Cgl, Talara Fm - N of Great Fault, Negritos | Olsson A. A. (1930) | Talara - Talara Shale | Regarded as lower Upper Eocene on the basis of faunal similarity. Foraminifera suggest an upper Eocene age. Olsson states that the Talara and Saman rocks can be referred to the Upper Eocene and in terms of the European section, to the Bartonian and Ludian.....respectively? In most places the Talara Formation can be divided into three members, a lower shale (Talara Shale), a middle sandstone (Talara Sandstone), and an upper shale (Pozo Shale). In a complete section the Talara Formation has an ave | "shale" | 41.3 - 38 Ma Eocene |
| Negritos [Pale Greda Fm] - Nautiloidea | Olsson A. A. (1928) | Pale Greda | STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Pale Greda Formation. AGE: Eocene, according to Miller (1947); early Middle Eocene = Lutetian, according to Olsson (1928), p. 9. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position in section. | "siliciclastic" | 47.8 - 41.3 Ma Eocene |
| Negritos [Salina Fm] | Olsson A. A. (1928) | Salina - Salina | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Salina Fm of the Salina Gp, which regionally overlies the Negritos Fm (Early Eocene). AGE: Regarded as early Middle Eocene (p. 9) = Lutetian, on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation. | sandstone | 47.8 - 41.3 Ma Eocene |
| Negritos [Negritos Fm] | Olsson A. A. (1928) | Negritos | LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Negritos Fm, which is regionally overlain by the Salina Gp (Middle Eocene). AGE: Regarded as Early Eocene (p. 9), on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation. | sandstone | 55.8 - 48.6 Ma Eocene |
