place the unit in a Sabkha environment which is slightly more bentoniitic

La presencia de yeso y restos de invertebrados en la Formacion Celendin para esta region, *la* sitúan en un ambiente tipo Sabka que es ligeramente mas bentonico hacia el oeste

Ufff, con perdón, pero el uso de la primera persona del plural en un texto técnico, es poco recomendable.

For this region, the gypsum and invertebrate vestiges on the Celendin formation, place the unit in a Sabkha environment which is slightly more bentoniitic to the west
