Orbitolina-bearing beds in Albian Mal Paso Formation, Chumbítaro, Michoacán, SW Mexico
Resumen
The Mal Paso Formation crops out in the Chumbítaro region in the state of Michoacán. It comprises a lower and an upper member.
The upper member is a calcareous deposit with Orbitolina-bearing beds containing an abundant foraminiferal association, mostly com-
posed of Mesorbitolina texana (Roemer, 1849), Nezzazata isabellae Arnaud-Vanneau and Sliter 1995, Arenobulimina cf. A. chapmani
Cushman, 1936, Glomospira sp. and Istriloculina sp.; moreover corals and echinoids are also present. Based on the stratigraphic
range of the species Mesorbitolina texana, part of the formation is assigned an early Albian age. The orbitolinid larger foraminifera
are excellent age markers for correlation of lower and mid-Cretaceous platforms. The wackestone–packstone textured limestone and
the larger benthic assemblage suggest a shallow-water platform deposit. M. texana is regarded as a cosmopolitan Tethysian species.
