Also known as LURMU
Where: Puno, Peru (15.7° S, 70.2° W: paleocoordinates 18.3° S, 59.0° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Muñani Formation (Puno Group), Thanetian to Thanetian (59.2 - 47.8 Ma)
• Lower Muñani Formation. Likely correlative to Chron 26r (early Late Paleocene) or Chron 24r (latest Paleocene–earliest Eocene), or, less likely, to Chron 29r (latest Cretaceous–earliest Paleocene). Correlation to Chron 24r is favored (Sige et al. 2004).

•Chron 24r (Thanetian– Ypresian) (Sigé et al. 2004).
•
•Originally attributed to Vilquechico Formation (Maastrichtian-Danian) on paleobotanical evidence (charophytes).
