The El Arco section, located on the southeast margin of the Sabinas Basin (Adjuntas Sub-basin), includes a succession consisting of Upper Cretaceous formations typical for this unit, as well as Paleogene strata similar to those previously reported from the La Popa Basin, adjacent to the Sabinas Basin. The El Arco carbonate lentil includes microfossils and nautiloids that indicate a middle Eocene age, which is consistent with previous stratigraphic inferences for the La Popa Basin. The presence of the nautiloid Hercoglossa sp. cf. H. peruviana in the El Arco Lentil and in the upper portion of the Rancho Nuevo Formation of Parras Basin, suggests a new correlation scheme for the Tertiary stratigraphic units of the three basins (Parras, La Popa and Sabinas basins). All three units had sediment input as late as middle Eocene time.
Keywords: Middle Eocene; Sabinas Basin; basin correlation; Northeastern Mexico
La sección El Arco, en el margen sureste de la Cuenca de Sabinas (Subcuenca de Adjuntas), incluye una secuencia que abarca formaciones del Cretácico Superior, características de esa unidad, así como estratos del Paleógeno, similares a los previamente reportados para la Cuenca de La Popa, adyacente a la Cuenca de Sabinas. La lente de carbonato El Arco incluye microfósiles y nautiloideos que indican una edad Eoceno medio, lo cual es congruente con inferencias estratigráficas previas para la Cuenca de La Popa. La presencia del nautiloideo Hercoglossa sp. cf. H. peruviana en la Lente El Arco y en la parte superior de la Formación Rancho Nuevo de la Cuenca de Parras, sugiere un nuevo esquema de correlación entre las unidades terciarias de las tres cuencas (Parras, La Popa y Sabinas), las cuales recibieron aporte sedimentario hasta el Eoceno medio.
Palabras clave: Eoceno medio; Cuenca de Sabinas; correlación de cuencas; Noreste de México
