From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mustersan age is a period of
geologic time (48.0–42.0
Ma) within the
Eocene epoch of the
Paleogene, used more specifically within the
South American land mammal age (SALMA) classification. It follows the
Casamayoran and precedes the
Divisaderan age.

Etymology
This age is named after
Lake Musters in the
Golfo San Jorge Basin.
