The Guará Formation is part of the Mesozoic fill of the Paraná Basin included in Supersequence Gondwana III (Milani et al., 1998 ) <ref name=Milani_1998>Milani, E.J.; Faccini, U.F.; Scherer, C.M.S.; Araujo, L.M.; Cupertino, J.A. 1998.

In Brazil there is no evidence of fossils that enable dating; however, its correlated unit in Uruguayan territory (Batoví Member) has a diversified fossil content, represented by gastropods, crocodilian reptiles, fish and semionotiformes conchostracans (Mones & Figueira, 1980<ref name=Mones_et_Figeuira_1980>Mones, A & Figueira, A. 1980.
