Formation d'âge Kimmeridgien (jaune orangé) et Tithonien (Barre tithonique, en gris sur la photo). On peut remarquer que les strates ont été plissées. L'âge des mouvements tectoniques ayant déformé la structure est donc plus jeune que le Tithonien.

Bolivia excavation tectonics
Researchers exploring Bolivia’s Great Tectonic Lakes discovered a landscape transformed over centuries by sophisticated engineering and diverse agricultural traditions. Excavations show how Indigenous societies adapted to dynamic wetlands through raised fields, canals, and mixed livelihoods. Today’s local communities preserve this biocultural continuity, guiding research and conservation.
