The Llallagua Formation is a Rhuddanian to Homerian geologic formation of western Bolivia. The formation comprises siliciclastic sediments. The fossil fauna suggests a warm water, nearshore current was active allowing northern hemisphere benthos to exist in the formation.[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/displayCollResults?collection_no=25084 Llallagua Formation] at Fossilworks.org
