Primer registro de un balenoptérido de la Cuenca Los Barriles, Mioceno tardío B.C.S., México
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
En la región sur del estado de Baja California Sur (BCS), México, se localiza la cuenca sedimentaria Los Barriles, que formó parte de la extensión de la apertura del Golfo de California. Su evolución comenzó en el Mioceno tardío (8-7 Ma). En la cuenca se encuentra la Formación Trinidad, con una edad de Mioceno tardío a Plioceno. La secuencia sedimentaria marina está compuesta por lodolitas, limolitas y areniscas, interpretada como un ambiente de aguas marinas someras a profundas con flujos gravitacionales. En esta área, en 1999 se colectó material de misticeto en la localidad El Cardonal sobre el arroyo La Higuera, consiste en una concreción de limolita-arenisca. En el cual, se cuenta con un complejo bula timpánica y periótico in situ con una afinidad al género Incakujira.
