Mustersan

TheMustersanage is a period ofgeologic time(48.0–42.0Ma) within theEoceneepoch of thePaleogene,used more specifically within theSouth American land mammal age(SALMA) classification. It follows theCasamayoranand precedes theDivisaderanage.^[1]^[2]

Etymology

This age is named afterLake Mustersin theGolfo San Jorge Basin.
