Subdivision [ edit ]
The formation consists of the Esmeraldas Member, which is a unit comprising highly foraminiferal tuffaceous calcareous shale. They were deposited by shallow water gravity flows , which brought the Esmeraldas fauna into the deep water (1,000 metres (3,300 ft )) from shallow water, on the order of 75 metres (246 ft ).[3]
The Esmeraldas Member is covered by the Súa Member comprising burrowed, bioturbated , silty sandstones deposited in a coastal environment.
