Resum

Silva-Tamayo et al. (2017) study the Chattian to Langhian carbonate succession of the Siamana Formation in the Cocinetas Basin (La Guajira, Colombia). They identify a change in carbonate factory from mixed photozoan-heterozoan and photozoan associations dominated by corals in the Chattian-early Burdigalian to a heterozoan rhodalgal association in the late Burdigalian-Langhian. To validate the regional scale of this shift in carbonate-producing biota along the southeastern Circum-Caribbean realm, Silva-Tamayo et al. compare the Siamana Formation with the San Luis carbonate succession in the Falcón Basin (NE Venezuela) and the Perla carbonates in the Urumaco Trough (Gulf of Venezuela). Referring to Albert-Villanueva (2016) they state that, as in the case of the Siamana Formation, the carbonates of the San Luis Formation also recorded a change in carbonate-producing biota, from a photozoan/heterozoan carbonate factory in the late Oligocene-early Miocene to a heterozoan/rhodalgal carbonate factory in the middle Miocene. Notwithstanding, Albert-Villanueva (2016) interprets the carbonate units cropping out in the Falcón Basin (San Luis and Churuguara formations) as early Miocene in age, and the passage from photozoan to heterozoan carbonate factory as a lateral change of facies within the lower Miocene carbonate platforms of the Falcón Basin.
