Boletín de Geología

Boletín de Geología is a quarterly peer-reviewed open access scientific journal published by the Industrial University of Santander.

Depositional environment

In geology, depositional environment or sedimentary environment describes the combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.

See Seca Formation, Ecuador and Depositional environment

Divisaderan

The Divisaderan age is a South American land mammal age, covering a period of geologic time (42.0–36.0 Ma) within the Middle and Late Eocene epochs of the Paleogene.

Ecuador

Ecuador, officially the Republic of Ecuador, is a country in northwestern South America, bordered by Colombia on the north, Peru on the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west.

Eocene

The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

See Seca Formation, Ecuador and Eocene

Fossilworks

Fossilworks is a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.

Geological formation

A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).

List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Ecuador

This is a list of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Ecuador. Seca Formation, Ecuador and list of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Ecuador are fossiliferous stratigraphic units of South America, geologic formations of Ecuador and paleontology in Ecuador.

Palaeophiidae

Palaeophiidae is an extinct family of marine snake within the infraorder Alethinophidia.

See Seca Formation, Ecuador and Palaeophiidae

Petroleum reservoir

A petroleum reservoir or oil and gas reservoir is a subsurface accumulation of hydrocarbons contained in porous or fractured rock formations. Seca Formation, Ecuador and petroleum reservoir are reservoir rock formations.

Pterosphenus

Pterosphenus is an extinct genus of marine snake of the Eocene period.

Robert Hoffstetter

Robert Julien Hoffstetter (11 June 1908 in Fargniers – 29 December 1999 in Gennevilliers) was a French taxonomist and herpetologist who was influential in categorizing reptiles.

Santa Elena Province

The Province of Santa Elena is a province of Ecuador in the coastal region.

Shale

Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock formed from mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals (hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, e.g. kaolin, Al2Si2O5(OH)4) and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite.

See Seca Formation, Ecuador and Shale

Source rock

In petroleum geology, source rock is rock which has generated hydrocarbons or which could generate hydrocarbons.

See Seca Formation, Ecuador and Source rock

South American land mammal age

The South American land mammal ages (SALMA) establish a geologic timescale for prehistoric South American fauna beginning 64.5 Ma during the Paleocene and continuing through to the Late Pleistocene (0.011 Ma). Seca Formation, Ecuador and South American land mammal age are fossiliferous stratigraphic units of South America.

See Seca Formation, Ecuador and South American land mammal age

Tinguirirican

The Tinguirirican (Tinguiririquense) age is a period of geologic time (36.0–29.0 Ma) within the Late Eocene and Early Oligocene epochs of the Paleogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification in South America.
