Marine sedimentary rocks of the lower Miocene Monte León Formation of southeastern Patagonia (Austral Basin), Argentina are important geological archives for better understanding regional tectonics, paleoenvironments, oceanography, and climate. In this paper, we describe assemblages of invertebrates...
