The stratigraphic profile shows at the base grayish-green sandy rocks belonging to the Camacho Formation (Upper Miocene). Overlying this unit, there is a tough yellowish-greenish siltstone in net contact, in which several pieces of a Notiomastodon platensis specimen were found. Towards the upper part, a thicker greenish-brownish bed is observed, ranging upwards from conglomerates to siltstones. The lower part of this bed includes disarticulated and fragmentary remains of Lestodonarmatus, Glyptodon reticulatus, Pampatheriidae indet., Toxodon cf. T. platensis, Morenelaphus sp., and Lycalopex gymnocercus,...
