El hallazgo sugiere un ambiente estuarino de aguas salobres, lo que es concordante con observaciones previas fundamentadas en el registro fósil de invertebrados marinos de otras localidades de esta misma formación. Este nuevo registro fósil es importante, pues ayuda a comprender la distribución biogeográfica actual de dicho género, la cual probablemente obedeció a eventos tectónico.]]></p></abstract>

This found suggests a brackish estuarine environment which is in concordance with the previous observations based on the fossil record of marine invertebrates from other locations of this formation. This new record fossil is important to understand the recent biogeographic distribution of genus, which it probably was due to tectonic events.]]></p></abstract>
