List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units
Group | Formation | Period | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Luanda Formation | Late Miocene-Pliocene | [1] | |
Quimbriz Formation | Miocene | [2] | |
Quifangondo Formation | Eocene | [3] | |
Landana Formation | Selandian | [4] | |

Itombe formation was considered Turonian in age, but new data suggests to be Coniacian.[9]
