The Venterol Formation is made up of silicoclastic units which have wt
the same sequence stratigraphic acceptation. A distal body emplaced b
y forced regression and a proximal, a true sandy transgressive system,
can be recognized. Correlation with basinal limestone-marl cycles sug
gests that this forced regression was short lived.
