The stratigraphy of Cretaceous mudstones in the eastern Fuegian Andes: New data from body and trace fossils

Mostrar todas las versiones(2)

The stratigraphy of Cretaceous marine mudstones in the Fuegian Andes, roughly equivalent to Charles Darwin's clay-slate formation, remains a still unsolved problem. Previous records of Albian, Turonian-Coniacian, and Santonian-Campanian bivalves are combined with new findings of the Late Albian...
