Where: Peru (13.9° S, 76.3° W: paleocoordinates 16.0° S, 69.6° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Otuma Formation, Early/Lower Oligocene (33.9 - 28.4 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Otuma Fm, which regionally is unconformably overlain by the Prisco Fm (late Early Miocene to Late Pliocene). AGE: Eocene/Oligocene in text, on the basis of K/Ar dates, siliceous microfossil zonation, and molluscan biostratigraphy. Here assigned to Early Oligocene consistent with other collections from formation. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From coarse-grained sandstone unit near base of formation.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, coarse-grained sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original aragonite
