A brachiopod-dominated assemblage collected 40 m above the Monos-Antimonio Formations contact indicates a middle Permian (Guadalupian) age, and ammonites and conodonts found 380 to 530 m above the base of the Antimonio Formation indicate an Early Triassic (Spathian) age… in order to continue, download the full paper in PDF.
