Where: Peru (15.4° S, 74.9° W: paleocoordinates 15.7° S, 73.0° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pisco Formation, Late/Upper Miocene (11.6 - 5.3 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Pisco Fm, which regionally, unconformably overlies the Chilcatay Fm (late Oligocene-early Middle Miocene). AGE: Late Miocene in text, on the basis of molluscan biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown position within formation.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shoreface; lithified, shelly/skeletal conglomerate

• ENVIRONMENT: Not discussed in text, but appears to be from very shallow marine siliciclastic setting.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Indurated bioclastic gravels with oysters. LITHIFICATION: Poorly-lithified based on facies description.

Size class: macrofossils
