Iscayachi Formation (Bolivia) |
The Iscayachi Formation, in older literature also referred to as Guanacuno Formation, is an extensive Tremadocian geologic formation of western and southern Bolivia. The shales and sandstones were deposited in a shallow marine to pro-delta environment.[1][2][3][4][5] The formation reaches a thickness of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft).[1]
