Stratigraphy
Formation:Chilcatay
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: Originally Early Miocene
STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Chilcatay Fm, which regionally, unconformably overlies the Otuma Fm (Oligocene) and is unconformably overlain by the Pisco Fm (Middle Miocene-Late Pliocene). AGE: latest Oligocene-early Middle Miocene, for which justification is not stated. Overlain by the Prisco Fm, for which K/Ar dates, siliceous microfossil zonation, and molluscan biostratigraphy supports a Middle Miocene age at its oldest. The collection is placed by the authors within the Early Miocene. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From lower Chilcatay Fm, in massive yellow sandstone in midst of white diatomaceous silty sandstone .
