Berriasian–early Valanginian calcareous shallow-water facies from the Arperos Basin: A proposal from the foraminiferal assemblage of the clasts of the Guanajuato Conglomerate, central Mexico
Journal: Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana

The Eocene Guanajuato Conglomerate is composed of clasts derived from igneous and metasedimentary sources that can be related to the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous arc and back-arc assemblages of the El Paxtle and Arperos Basin. Limestone clasts contain a shallow-water platform fauna that includes bivalves, brachiopods, gastropods, echinoderms and foraminifers. Foraminiferal studies were carried out on these limestone clasts. The benthic foraminiferal association is composed of Pseudocyclammina
