During the [[Aptian]] (110 Ma; [[:file:St58OverviewFG28.JPG|Figure 8]]), deposition continued to be shallow-water marine along the north coast (Yaguajay* belt) with, farther to the north (Cayo Coco area) and as far as Oriente (Gibara area), some pelagic influence (Casablanca Group). Toward central and western Cuba, conditions continued to be pelagic. The pelagic and shallow-water conditions were separated by a conglomeratic breccia zone (Sagua la Chica* belt) representing a [[forereef]] facies, although reefs themselves are not common in outcrops.

There was an influx of quartz- and mica-rich [[Turbidite|turbiditic]] detritus, possibly from the erosion of the previously formed basement high, which formed the La Esperanza, Polier, and Constancia* Formations. A southern Guajaibon–Sierra Azul carbonate bank may have been deposited.
