Findings indicate mesothermal climate conditions with mean annual temperatures of 14–17°C.
Significant floristic diversity includes Neotropical and Pantropical elements, underpinning environmental dynamics.
Geochronological analyses constrain deposits to approximately 39.9 Ma within a complex sedimentary framework.
Implications highlight the historical prevalence of warm and humid conditions across southern South America.
