Divisaderan

The Divisaderan age is a South American land mammal age, covering a period of geologic time (42.0–36.0 Ma) within the Middle and Late Eocene epochs of the Paleogene. It follows the Mustersan age and is followed by the Tinguirirican age.^[1]

Etymology edit

The age is named after the Divisadero Largo Formation of Divisadero Largo, Mendoza, Argentina.
