Ituzaingó Formation, Geological formation in Corrientes, Argentina.
The Ituzaingó Formation extends across 120,000 square kilometers from the Paraná River, containing layers of mudstones, sandstones, and sedimentary rocks.
First documented by De Alba in 1953, this Late Miocene formation contains the Conglomerado Osífero layer with numerous vertebrate fossil remains.
Scientists from Argentina and neighboring countries regularly conduct research at this site to study South American prehistoric ecosystems and geological evolution.
The formation reaches depths of 150 meters in certain areas, while maintaining an average thickness between 10 and 20 meters throughout most sections.
The formation preserves fossils of ground sloths, marsupials, rodents, and freshwater fish species that indicate connections to ancient Amazonian fauna.
