A Formação Rio Claro e depósitos associados: sedimentação Neocenozoica na depressão periférica paulista

This study dealt with the Rio Claro Formation and associated deposits, which comprise continental Neocenozoic sediments of the inner lowlands (called, Depressto Perifrica) in southeastern Brazil. These sediments are discontinuous and thin, and their interpretation and classification required the use ofgeomorphic concepts as well as usual lithostratigraphic concepts.
