From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Casamayoran (Template:Lang-es ) age is a period of geologic time (50.0–48.0 Ma ) within the Early Eocene epoch of the Paleogene , used more specifically within the South American land mammal age (SALMA) classification. It follows the Itaboraian and precedes the Mustersan age.[ 1]
Several astrapotherian mammals are known from this period, such as Antarctodon and Albertogaudrya from Antarctica and Argentina , respectively. Albertogaudrya and Scaglia were the size of a sheep or a small tapir, hence among the larger mammals in South America at this time.[ 2]
Etymology
This age is named after the Casamayor Formation of the Golfo San Jorge Basin .
