The sequence of limestones and lydites dates to the Late Cretaceous period; Turonian epoch and has a maximum thickness of 206 metres (676 ft).

Fossils of Yaguarasaurus columbianus were said to be found in this formation (listed as "La Frontera Member"), although the geological mapping of the area state the time-equivalent Hondita Formation as the stratigraphic unit present in the Quebradas El Ocal and Itaibe in Huila.

[5] The formation contains concretions and a high diversity of ammonites;[6] Wrightoceras munieri, Vascoceras cf.

[2] Fossils of Yaguarasaurus columbianus were described as coming from the "La Frontera Member", part of the "Villeta Formation", in the Quebrada El Ocal, 26 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of Neiva, Huila,[9][10] and in the Quebrada Itaibe 78 kilometres (48 mi) southwest of Neiva,[11] although in these areas the time-equivalent Hondita Formation is mapped.

[12][13] The La Frontera Formation is apart from its type locality, found at surface in the north of the Bogotá savanna, in the Tabio anticlinal, along the road Ubaté-Carmen de Carupa,[1] north and east of Chiquinquirá,[14] south of Cachipay,[15] to a thin band east of Viotá.
