Where: Peru (4.3° S, 81.3° W: paleocoordinates 4.5° S, 82.3° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Mancora Tablazo Formation, Early/Lower Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.8 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Mancora Tablazo Fm, which unconformably overlies the Taime Fm, and is unconformably overlain by the Talara Tablazo. AGE: Early Pleistocene, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unclear from what part of the formation the collection is derived, so collection should be considered a composite list for the formation.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by DeVries

Collection methods: surface (in situ),

• COLLECTORS: Presumably T.J. DeVries, c. 1980's. RESPOSITORY: Not stated in text.
