  Manzanilla Formation (Trinidad and Tobago) | |
The Manzanilla Formation is a geologic formation in Trinidad and Tobago. It preserves fossils dating back to the Middle Miocene period. [1]
Among others, the formation has provided fossils of:
Trinidad and Tobago dry forests are tropical dry forests located primarily in western and southern parts of the island of Trinidad, in southern parts of the island of Tobago and on smaller offshore islands including Chacachacare, Monos, Huevos, Gaspar Grande, Little Tobago and Saint Giles Island.
Muslims constitute 5.6 percent of the population of Trinidad and Tobago. The majority live in Trinidad but there are a handful in Tobago as well.
Manzanilla or manzanilla may refer to:
Exogyra is an extinct genus of fossil marine oysters in the family Gryphaeidae, the foam oysters or honeycomb oysters. These bivalves grew cemented by the more cupped left valve. The right valve is flatter, and the beak is curved to one side. Exogyra lived on solid substrates in warm seas during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Manzanilla Beach is a beach in Trinidad and Tobago. Located on the east coast of Trinidad, the larger island, the beach sits directly on the Manzanilla Bay adjoined to the larger north Atlantic Ocean.
The Moin Formation is a geologic formation in Costa Rica. It preserves fossils dating back to the Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene period.
The Río Banano Formation is a geologic formation in Costa Rica of the Limón Group. It preserves fossils dating back to the Middle Miocene to Piacenzian period.
The Cayo Agua Formation is a geologic formation in Panama. It preserves fossils dating back to the Pliocene period.
The Escudo de Veraguas Formation is a geologic formation in Panama. It preserves fossils dating back to the Piacenzian to Early Pleistocene period.
The Nancy Point Formation is a geologic formation in Panama. It preserves fossils dating back to the Miocene period.
The Shark Hole Point Formation is a geologic formation in Bocas del Toro Province of northwestern Panama. The siltstones preserve fossils dating back to the Pliocene period.
The Chagres Formation (Tc) is a geologic formation in the Colón Province of central Panama. The sandstones and siltstones were deposited in a shallow marine environment and preserve fossils dating back to the Middle to Late Miocene period.
The Gatún Formation (Tg) is a geologic formation in the Colón and Panamá Provinces of central Panama. The formation crops out in and around the Panama Canal Zone. The coastal to marginally marine sandstone, siltstone, claystone, tuff and conglomerate formation dates to the latest Serravallian to Tortonian, from 12 to 8.5 Ma. It preserves many fossils, among others, megalodon teeth have been found in the formation.
The Tuira Formation is a geologic formation in Panama. It preserves bivalve, gastropod and sponge fossils dating back to the Tortonian period, from 11 to 9.5 Ma.
The Swan Cay Formation is a geologic formation in Panama. It preserves fossils.
The Mao Formation is a geologic formation in the northwestern Dominican Republic. The reefal limestone and siltstone formation preserves bivalve, gastropod, echinoid and coral fossils dating back to the Pliocene period.
The Tobago Volcanic Group is a geologic group in Trinidad and Tobago. It preserves radiolaria and ammonite fossils dating back to the Albian period. The formation contains the Bacolet Formation and comprises organic-rich, black pyritic siliceous mudstones and fine-grained volcaniclastic sandstones and siltstones.
The Springvale Formation is a geologic formation in Trinidad and Tobago. It preserves fossils dating back to the Late Miocene period.
The Brasso Formation is a geologic formation in Trinidad and Tobago. It preserves fossils dating back to the Early Eocene to Serravallian period.
The Onzole Formation is an Early Pliocene geologic formation in the Borbón Basin of northwestern Ecuador. The formation consists of a shallow marine sandstone member containing many fish fossils, among which megalodon, and a deep water member comprising tuffaceous shales and mudstones containing gastropods, bivalves and scaphopods.
