Taxonomic list comments:lower 50 ft of unit
whole rock KA date of 40.0 (= 41.2) +/- 2 Ma for the Gill Breccia, which underlies the Colmena Tuff, was selected from three wildly discordant dates on a priori grounds by Wilson and therefore should not be used, although it is repeated by Prothero 1996b
taxa of uncertain provenance from the lower Candelaria: Didelphidae indet. ("? Peratherium sp.") Prolapsus sp.
