This book gathers and updates the most significant advances of
the last two centuries and presents an unprecedented micro
paleontological study covering more than 20 stratigraphic
sections. This information is supplemented by numerous
sedimentological observations and analyses, on the basis of which
a new lithostratigraphic framework for the Neogene of the
Chacoparanense Basin is proposed.

The book is structured in an easy-to-read format: Its main
section offers a comprehensive review of the current state of
knowledge on transgressions in Argentina and similar
transgressions in other South American countries, taking into
account various key aspects (age, paleoenvironment,
micropaleontology, etc.). Secondly, the book presents the main
results on the TLP and TEP of the Chacoparanense Basin and the
TEP of the Península de Valdés. Lastly, it provides readers with
complete stratigraphic profiles (Appendix A), mineralogical
analyses (Appendix B), distribution charts (Appendix C),
systematics (Appendix D) and plates (Appendix E).
