The Northern Patagonian Batholith was formed in the Mesozoic Era and Cenozoic Era. It is made up of a collection of individual plutons made up of granodiorite, tonalite and diorite among other rocks. Most plutons of the North Patagonian Batholith are of Cretaceous Period to the Miocene age of the Neogene Period (135 Ma to 25-15 Ma), during the Mesozoic Era. Late Miocene to early Pliocene
Patagonian tinamou black, its throat is white, its breast is rufous and its belly is cinnamon. Like other tinamous, the ornate tinamou eats fruit off the ground or low-lying bushes.
