- •
First geochronological dating (U-Pb SHRIMP) of a tuff layer in the Pilmatué Member of the Agrio Fm (Neuquén Basin, Argentina) is presented.
- •
The tuff occurs in an ammonite zone equivalent to the A. radiatus Zone, which in the West Mediterranean marks the entrance in the Hauterivian.
- •
The absolute age of 130.0 ± 0.8 Ma is the first numerical data that could help constraining the Hauterivian lower boundary and its duration.
