DV 1123-1 [Otuma Fm] (Eocene of Peru)

Where: Peru (14.1° S, 76.2° W: paleocoordinates 21.1° S, 104.5° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Otuma Formation, Late/Upper Eocene (37.2 - 33.9 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Otuma Fm, which regionally is unconformably overlain by the Prisco Fm (late Early Miocene to Late Pliocene). AGE: Late Eocene in text, on the basis of K/Ar dates, siliceous microfossil zonation, and molluscan biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From basal yellow-white indurated sandstones.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, white, yellow sandstone and poorly lithified, fine-grained sandstone

• ENVIRONMENT: Not discussed in text, but appears to be from relatively shallow marine siliciclastic setting.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Yellow-white indurated sandstones. LITHIFICATION: Lithified, based on facies description.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original aragonite
