—Molasse formation
represented by 200 m thick beds of marls, clayey
limestones or marls containing thin limestone lay-
ers. Everywhere, on the top of the plateau, it covers
the limestones of Charco Redondo Formation and
its sediments fill up the negative forms of the paleo-
relief.
the last day of the expedition, all drown maps were
confiscated by Cuban military representatives.
• SAN LUIS (SLU)—P

—Sedimentary formation
of clays, marls and thin clayey sand layers. The total
thickness of this formation is about 350 m. It covers
the plane southwards from Plateau Guaso, overlying
the limestones of Charco Redondo Formation.
