Vertebrate fauna.
"Angistorhinus" sp., cf. "Leptosuchus", Aetosauria indet., a guaibasaurid (ISI R277) and 2 basal dinosauriforms (ISI R282, 284) have also been recovered from it.
Correlations.
The formation has been correlated with the Forest Sandstone of Africa, the lower Caturrita Formation of the Paraná Basin in Brazil, the upper Ischigualasto Formation and lower Los Colorados Formation of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin of Argentina, and the Chinle Formation of North America.
