Nanofósiles calcáreos, duración y origen de ciclos caliza-marga (Jurásico tardío de la Cuenca Neuquina)

Calcareouos nannofosils, duration and origin of limestone-marl cycles (Late Jurassic, Neuquén Basin). A nannofossil 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...
