Where: Peru (15.9° S, 73.3° W: paleocoordinates 17.5° S, 67.4° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Camana Formation, Late/Upper Oligocene (28.4 - 23.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC DATA: From Camana Formation, which overlies the Lower Moquegua Fm or Paracas Fm (of Caraveli 1983), and is time-transgressive with the Upper Moquegua and Hualillas fms .

Environment/lithology: shoreface; lithified, shelly/skeletal mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sediments

• ENVIRONMENT: Very shallow marine siliciclastic setting.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Medium-bedded low-angle cross-bedded coquina. LITHIFICATION: Not stated, but presumed lithified given age and facies relationships.
