Nanofósiles calcáreos, duración y origen de ciclos caliza-marga (Jurásico tardio de la Cuenca Neuquina) Calcareouos nannofosils, duration and origin of limestone-marl cycles (Late Jurassic, Neuquén Basin)
A nan-nofossil association corresponding to Zone NJ20b was defined in the rhythmically interbedded limestones and marls of the Los Catutos Member, Vaca Muerta Formation. It confirmed the Late Middle Tithonian age, previously assigned on the basis of ammonites, to the beds which crop out in the local...
