| Bajo de Veliz (CORD collection) | Hunicken M. A. (1980) | Bajo de Veliz - Pallero | The fossil plants include species of the Gangamopteris biozone and their content corresponds to the Lubeckense flora that corresponds to the Carboniferous–Permian boundary. The palynoflora suggested different age such as Permian (Sakmarian; Menéndez 1971) or earliest Permian (Gutiérrez & Césari 2000). Radiometric dating of other correlated units (e.g. La Colina, La Rioja Province) brings a middle Stephanian age (295 ± 6 Ma, Late Carboniferous; Archangelsky et al. 1995). Correlated with the Patqu | siltstone | 307 - 298.9 Ma Carboniferous |
