Gymnosperm flora from the Nirihuau formation (late oligocene-early miocene), RFO negro Province, Argentina
The Cenozoic paleofloras in the area of San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina are located mainly along the Ñirihuau and Pichileufú rivers, and belong to several stratigraphie units. Of these, the flora of Pico Quemado is situated in the most basal part of the Ñirihuau Formation and is probably late Oli...
