Lagunitas Formation, Cuba
The Lagunitas Formation is a geologic formation in Cuba. The open marine, fluvio- deltaic and lagoonal claystones, limestones and conglomerates preserve fossils dating back to the Early Miocene period. Among others, the fossil primate '' Paralouatta marianae'', the largest primate of the Miocene New World, was found in the formation. Based on microfossils, the age has been determined as Burdigalian. Description The type locality designated by Popov is a small outcrop located east of Trinidad, on the highway linking Trinidad and Banao. The youngest lithostratigraphic unit overlain by Lagunitas is the Oligocene Las Cuevas Formation in the type section. Lagunitas is in turn overlain by the Middle Miocene Güines Formation and younger sediments.MacPhee et al., 2003, p.6 Regional correlation Partial temporal and lithological equivalents of the Lagunitas Formation situated elsewhere in Cuba include the Arabos, Paso Real, Rosario and Magantilla Formations. In Hispaniola, t ...

Cesar-Ranchería Basin
The Cesar-Ranchería Basin ( es, Cuenca Cesar-Ranchería) is a sedimentary basin in northeastern Colombia. It is located in the southern part of the department of La Guajira and northeastern portion of Cesar. The basin is bound by the Oca Fault in the northeast and the Bucaramanga-Santa Marta Fault in the west. The mountain ranges Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Serranía del Perijá enclose the narrow triangular intermontane basin, that covers an area of . The Cesar and Ranchería Rivers flow through the basin, bearing their names. The basin is of importance for hosting the worldwide tenth biggest and largest coal mine of Latin America, Cerrejón. The coals are mined from the Paleocene Cerrejón Formation, that also has provided several important paleontological finds, among others '' Titanoboa cerrejonensis'', with an estimated length of and a weight of , the biggest snake discovered to date, the giant crocodylians '' Cerrejonisuchus improcerus'', '' Anthracosuchus bal ...
