Main Article Content
Invernada Range. Successive shallowing-deepening sedimentary cycles crop out throughout the upper part of
the formation. The dominantly lower turbiditic sandy deposits alternate with shaly pelagic sedimentation, and
occasional coarser intervals that record gravitational flows. Hummocky structures occur in the uppermost part
of the formation, indicating sedimentation under storm weather conditions. Rich graptolite faunas representing
six upper Middle to lower Upper Ordovician biozones have been recorded from this section: Pterograptus elegans
(tentative assignment), Hustedograptus teretiusculus, Nemagraptus gracilis, Climacograptus bicornis,
Diplacanthograptus caudatus, and Climacograptus tubuliferus biozones. This graptolite biostratigraphy is complemented by the conodont records from successive productive levels, which yielded conodonts that represent
the Pygodus serra, P. anserinus, Amorphognathus tvaerensis, and A. superbus biozones. The recorded conodont-graptolite assemblages allow for a correlation with the upper Darriwilian, Sandbian and lower Katian global stages, and provide preliminary biofacies records for the upper Sierra de La Invernada Formation.
