- Upper lower Eocene calcareous nannoplankton from the Las Pocitas core (Tepetate formation), Baja California Sur, Mexico Erandi García-Cordero Ana Luisa Carreño Ciencias de la Tierra Eocene Mexico Biostratigraphy Tepetate formation Baja California Sur Sixty species of calcareous nannoplankton from the Tepetate formation were recovered from a drill hole near Las Pocitas, Baja California Sur. In spite of its low abundance and erratic distribution throughout the sedimentary column, the great amount of reworked species, as well as the absence of traditional index fossils representing the standard tropical biozonation, the co-occurrence of Reticulofenestra dyctioda, Rhabdosphaera crebra, R. pinguis, Micrantholithus flos, Pontosphaera pectinata and Lanternithus minutus situates the studied stratigraphic column at the Discoasteroides kuepperi CP12a Subzone of Okada and Bukry, dated between 49.5 and 49 Ma at the top of the upper lower Eocene. The population structure as well as the lithological features of the sedimentary package, suggest a temperate open-sea deposit, which confirms interpretations based on other marine fossils at arroyo Datilar, El Conejo, Salada, Colorado y Las Pocitas, where rocks of the lower middle Eocene Tepetate formation crop out. 2009 artículo científico 1026-8774 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57214935004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=572 Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas (México) Num.1 Vol.26
