Composition
The Lohan Cura Formation contains two members of roughly equal thickness.
The lower (and therefore older) of the two is the Puesto Quiroga Member, approximately 85 meters thick. The lowest sediments in this formation are conglomerates, overlain by sandstones and siltstones. The upper two-thirds of the member consists mainly of shales.
The Cullín Grande Member is the upper member within the formation, about 92 meters thick, which contains numerous stream channels in sandstone. By the top of the column, siltstones and claystones become dominant.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
—Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
“Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
