Geological formation in Colombia
TheCastilletes Formation (Spanish :Formación Castilletes , N1c) is afossiliferous geological formation of theCocinetas Basin in the northernmostdepartment ofLa Guajira ,Colombia . The formation consists offossiliferous mudstones ,siltstones and medium-grained toconglomeratic fossiliferouslithic toquartzitic sandstones . The Castilletes Formation dates to theNeogene period;Burdigalian toLanghian stages,Colloncuran andFriasian in theSALMA classification , and has a maximum thickness of 440 metres (1,440 ft).
The formation was defined by Rollins in 1965 and named after the village of Castilletes.[ 1]
The Castilletes Formation consists offossiliferous mudstones ,siltstones and medium-grained toconglomeratic fossiliferouslithic toquartzitic sandstones .[ 2]
Stratigraphy and depositional environment [ edit ] The Castilletes Formation overlies theJimol Formation and is overlain by theWare Formation . The age has been estimated to beMiddle Miocene (16.7 to 14.2 Ma),Colloncuran andFriasian in theSALMA classification. The invertebrate fauna of the Castilletes Formation is highly similar not only to that of the underlying Jimol Formation, but also to the Cantaure Formation of Venezuela.[ 3] [ 4] Cerro Pelado andQuerales Formations of the VenezuelanFalcón Basin . This unit is also correlative with theCantaure Formation of the Paraguaná Peninsula in Venezuela.[ 5]
