Riochican

The Riochican (Spanish: Riochiquense) age is a period of geologic time (57.0–54.0 Ma) within the Paleocene and Eocene epochs of the Paleogene, used more specifically within the South American land mammal ages (SALMA). It follows the Peligran and precedes the Itaboraian age.[1]

Etymology

edit

This age is named after the Río Chico Group of the Golfo San Jorge Basin.
