The Hiló Formation ( Spanish : Formación Hiló , Kih) is a geological formation of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense , Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes . The predominantly shale formation dates to the Middle Cretaceous period; Late Albian to Early Cenomanian epochs and has a measured thickness at its type section of 470 metres (1,540 ft). The fossiliferous formation has provided a great abundance of ammonites and other marine species.
7-571: The formation was defined and named in 1931 by Hubach after the Caserío Boquerón de Hiló in Anapoima . The Hiló Formation with a measured thickness of 470 metres (1,540 ft), is characterised by a sequence of pyritic organic shales , limestones and siltstones , with sandstone banks intercalated in the formation. The Hiló Formation overlies the Capotes Formation and is overlain by

If the stratigraphic unit in a locality is layered, it is called a stratotype , whereas the standard of reference for unlayered rocks is the type locality. The concept

28-1653: The Simijaca Formation . The age has been estimated to be Late Albian to Early Cenomanian . Stratigraphically, the formation is time equivalent with the Une and Pacho Formations . The formation has been deposited in an open platform setting. The deposition is represented by a maximum flooding surface and pelagic to hemipelagic conditions.

35-613: The Hiló Formation. The Hiló Formation is apart from its type locality along the road from Apulo to Anapoima , found just east of Viotá , Cundinamarca, and in the department of Tolima . West of Guayabal de Síquima , the formation is offset by the Vianí Fault. Anapoima Anapoima ( Spanish pronunciation: [anaˈpojma] ) is a Colombian municipality in the department of Cundinamarca located 87 km (54 mi) from Bogotá . The first inhabitants of
42-562: The region were the Anapoymas Indians of the Panche nation. Between Tocaima and Tena there existed only small indigenous houses. The town was founded on August 10, 1627, by the Spanish counsellor Don Lesmes de Espinosa Saravia. With the passing of time, following Spanish colonisation, it became the resting place for travellers whose destination was the south of Colombia. The town is located in
49-580: The south west of the Cundinamarca Department , in the warm zone of the Tequendama province. To the north is located the town of La Mesa , to the south the towns of Apulo and Viota , to the east the town El Colegio , and to the west the towns of Jerusalén and Quipile . The average annual temperature is 26 °C (79 °F). Fuiste cuna de Poimas y Anapoimas Acoges a la inmensa humanidad Te conviertes en toda una heredad De quien viene
