Colloncuran
Period of geologic time within the Middle Miocene epoch
The Colloncuran (Spanish : Colloncurense ) age is a period of geologic time (15.5–13.8 Ma ) within the Middle Miocene epoch of the Neogene , used more specifically within the SALMA classification in South America. It follows the Friasian and precedes the Laventan age.[ 1]
Etymology
The age is named after the Collón Curá Formation in the Cañadón Asfalto and Neuquén Basins of northern Patagonia , Argentina .
