The Yuruma Formation in the Yuruma hill area its type locality can be differentiated into two stratigraphic intervals. The lower and upper intervals of the Yuruma Formation can also be subdivided into two segments. The lithological, sedimentological and fossiliferous characteristics support this differentiation, which allows to interpret the accumulation energy influences over the sea floor. The lower interval is characterized by intercalations of very fossiliferous marlstones and biomicrites with benthonic and nektonic fossils from the lower Barremian. The upper interval is represented by marlstones and biomicrites with poor benthonic and nektonic fossils from the upper Barremian and probably from the lower Aptian. In the Punta Espada area, whit scarce lithological controls over the lower and upper parts of the Yuruma Formation, were found biomicrites with benthonic and nektonic fossils of the lower Barremian to the lower part, and to the top were recognized biomicrites that underlie beds with lower Aptian ammonites.
