Stratigraphy
Formation: | Milburn Limestone | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: Waitakian, Oligocene; the Oligocene portion of the Waitakian is Chattian
The precise stratigraphic context of OU 11573 is currently unknown, but likely falls within the early Waitakian (Oligocene, 25.2–23.0 Ma [2]). This estimate is supported by s strontium date of 23.8 ± 0.7 Ma for the horizon that yielded OU 22545. (Marx & Fordyce, 2015) |
