Sarmiento Formation
Geologic formation in Chubut Province, Argentina
The Sarmiento Formation (Spanish : Formación Sarmiento ), in older literature described as the Casamayor Formation , is a geological formation in Chubut Province , Argentina , in central Patagonia , which spans around 30 million years from the mid-Eocene to the early Miocene . It predominantly consists of pyroclastic deposits,[ 1] which were deposited in a semi-arid environment.[ 2] It is divided up into a number of members.[ 1] The diverse fauna of the Sarmiento Formation, including a variety of birds, crocodilians, turtles and snakes, also includes many mammals such as South American native ungulates (notoungulates , litopterns , astrapotheres ) as well as armadillos , and caviomorph rodents .[ 3]
