Descripción
Sumario:Fossil travertine deposits ha ve been recognlzed in the Aguilar Fm., which are intercalated within the typical lacustrine/palustrine limestones of this unit. Macroscopically, they are characterised by numerous plant remains and microscopically by abundant features attributable to microbial activity. The travertine accumulation occurred next to an important fault line that was contemporaneously active. Because of that, they are thought to record former hot-springs within a discharge-type water inflow system.
