It mainly composed of mudrocks with nodules of sandstones and limestones, that are interpreted as part of a marginal marine deposit,[2] with anoxic zones, in the warm and shallow sea that covered most of the Colombian territory during the Cretaceous.[3] Plesiosaur, ichthyosaur, sea turtles, teleostean fishes and ammonites[4] remains are among the main fossils that have been recovered from its strata, mainly near to the modern town of Villa de Leiva in Boyacá.[5] {{clearboth}} Fossil content Reptiles Reptiles of the Paja Formation |
