Itaboraian

The Itaboraian (

Ma) epoch of the Paleogene, used more specifically with South American land mammal ages (SALMA). It follows the Riochican and precedes the Casamayoran age.^[1]

Etymology

This age is named after the

Greater Rio municipality in the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil

not very far away from Niterói.
