DV 599-2 [terrace] (Pliocene of Peru)

Where: Peru (15.5° S, 74.6° W: paleocoordinates 15.7° S, 73.7° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pliocene (5.3 - 2.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From terrace deposits overlying the Pisco Fm (early Middle Miocene-Late Pliocene). AGE: Not stated, but based on stratigraphic description in text appears to be Pliocene, on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Over Upper Miocene sandstones overlain by Pleistocene marine terraces.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified siliciclastic sediments

• ENVIRONMENT: Not discussed in text, but appears to be from shallow marine siliciclastic setting.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Not described in text, but presumably siliciclastic. LITHIFICATION: Unlithified based on figured specimens and age.

Size class: macrofossils
