Where: Piura, Peru (4.7° S, 81.3° W: paleocoordinates 12.5° S, 109.9° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Parinas Formation, Bartonian (41.3 - 38.0 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Parinas Fm of the Parinas Gp, which regionally overlies the Pale Greda Fm of the Salina Gp (early Middle Eocene) and is regionally overlain by the Restin Fm (late Middle Eocene).
