11 million years of the Amazon River
09/01/2009 | Elhuyar

The Amazon River was born 11 million years ago and occupied the current riverbed 2.4 million years ago. The Brazilian oil company Petrobas has analyzed for the first time the sediment bed 10 kilometers from the mouth of the Amazon. Sedimentary and paleontological studies have been carried out that will allow to know the South American paleogeography and the evolution of the marine organisms of the Amazon and the Atlantic coast.
