Geologic formation in Brazil
The Solimoes Formation is a geologic formation located in the states of Acre and Amazonas in northwest Brazil. It preserves many fossils dating to the Miocene epoch of the Neogene period.
Description
The Solimoes Formation is situated in the Acre Basin, a sedimentary basin formed by Andean tectonic events that occurred along the west margin of South America in the Neogene.[1] It is traditionally dated to the Late Miocene by biostratigraphy and zircon geochronology.[1] The formation is mostly consists of mudstones, siltstones and muddy sandstones, deposited under fluvio-lacustrine settings.[1]
