Macrofossils, This locality lies immediately above cerro gordo sandstone beds Note: Stirton (1953) elevated the term Honda to the Group category. Wellman (1967), included "Grupo Honda" in the Villavieja Formation and La Dorada Formation and makes a good description of the fragments of these formations, which contributes to the definition of the area of origin of the sediments. However, the evolution of diagenetic processes in the rocks studied was not detailed. Finally, Guerrero (1993) established that the Honda Group is comprised of La Victoria Formation to the base and the overlying Villavieja Formation. This collection had formation = La Dorada assigned. La Dorada formation is considered a synonym of the La Victoria formation now (the latter having a Laventan age).
