Period of geologic time within the Middle Miocene epoch
The Colloncuran (
Spanish : Colloncurense ) age is a period of
geologic time (15.5–13.8
Ma ) within the
Middle Miocene epoch of the
Neogene , used more specifically within the
SALMA classification in South America. It follows the
Friasian and precedes the
Laventan age.
[1]
Etymology
The age is named after the
Collón Curá Formation in the
Cañadón Asfalto and
Neuquén Basins of northern
Patagonia ,
Argentina .
