Ponon-Trehue | Levy R., Nullo F.E. (1974) | Lindero - Los Leones | PJW: Originally placed in Ponon-Trehue formation; some people still use that for these rocks, but it makes more sense to use the Lindero Formation. This would be the Los Leones member, which overlies the Peletay member. | grainstone | 460.9 - 455.8 Ma Ordovician |
