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: El Nuro Member (Taime Formation), Early/Lower Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.8 Ma)
• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the El Nuro Mbr of the Taime Fm, which overlies the Golf Course Mbr, and further unconformably overlies paleogene bedrock, and is unconformably overlain by the Mancora Tablazo. AGE: Likely to be lowermost Pleistocene, on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy and stratigraphic position. STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Unclear from what part of the member the collection is derived, so collection should be considered a composite list for the member.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Collected by DeVries
Collection methods: surface (in situ),
