Cyclostratigraphy of an upper Valanginian – lower Hauterivian mixed siliciclastic-carbonate ramp succession (Pilmatué Member of the Agrio Formation), Loma La Torre section, northern Neuquén Basin, Argentina

Detailed sedimentological and stratigraphical studies were performed in the Pilmatué Member of the Agrio Formation at Loma La Torre area, to recognize orbital signals in the Valanginian–Hauterivian of the Neuquén Basin. Facies analysis allowed us to recognize 4 facies associations, interpreted as a...
