Where: Peru (15.9° S, 74.2° W: paleocoordinates 15.9° S, 73.8° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Early/Lower Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.8 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From terrace deposits overlying the Pisco Fm (early Middle Miocene-Late Pliocene). AGE: Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene in text, on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy.
