Resumen
La Formación Palanz de edad Berriasiano–Hauteriviano, se deposito en ambiente de abanicos aluviales proximales que gradaron hasta abanicos intermedios y distales en el sector nororiental de la Alta Guajira, mientras que al suroccidente se deposito en ambientes de ríos meandriformes y de planicies deltáicas. El Miembro Kesima se deposito en ambientes marinos someros con fuerte accionar del oleaje asociado con ambientes de “shoals” y “back reef”. / Abstract.
