The Toa Baja well penetrated 585.2 m of fossiliferous Oligocene and Miocene limestone, sandstone and shale above 2119 m of Eocene, dominantly volcaniclastic strata. Oligocene and Miocene rocks were deposited on a broad, shallow shelf. The unconformity between Eocene and Oligocene strata spans at least the Late Eoicene, and probably part of the Early Oligocene at Toa Baja. Below the unconformity, unfossiliferous volcaniclastic and igneous rocks are interstratified with fossiliferous limestone beds containing Middle and possibly late Early Eocene planktic foraminifera probably deposited in deep water. No Paleocene or Cretaceous fossils were recovered. ¿American Geophysical Union 1991
