Asociaciones palinologicas de las formaciones Colon y Molino Nor- oriente Colombiano

Abstract

The palynological associations of samples from the upper parts of the Colon Formation (Catatumbo Basin) and the Molino Formation (Cesar Basin) are described here. The palynological associations enable one to date the top of the Colon and Molino Formations as Maastrichtian (Zone: Proteacidites dehaani/Palaeocystodinium sp.). The Molino and Colon Formations can be correlated palynologically with the Umir Formation in the Middle Valley of Magdalena and with the Guaduas Formation (lower part) of the Upper Valley of the Magdalena Basin. -from English summary
