The East Pisco Basin is one of the forearc basins that formed during the Cenozoic along the
coast of Peru due to the subduction of the Farrallon-Nazca plate beneath the South …

The highly productive waters of the Humboldt Current System (HCS) host a particular
temperate ecosystem within the tropics, whose history is still largely unknown. The Pisco …

The Miocene Pisco Formation, broadly exposed in the Ica Desert of southern Peru, is among
the most outstanding Cenozoic marine Fossil-Lagerstätten worldwide. It is renowned for its …

The geochronology of deep-sea sediments beneath the carbonate compensation depth
(CCD) presents a challenge due to the calcareous microfossils dissolution, low …

The northward-flowing Humboldt Current hosts perpetually high levels of productivity along
the western coast of South America. Here, we aim to elucidate the deep-time history of this …

Bioapatite of fossil bone and teeth is susceptible to alteration and ion exchange during
burial and diagenesis, varying its Sr content through the geological time. Nevertheless, fossil …

ABSTRACT The earliest Miocene (Aquitanian, 23–20 Ma) remains a critically under-
sampled 'dark age'in cetacean evolution. This is especially true of baleen whales …

The Cenozoic succession of the East Pisco Basin preserves the sedimentary record of
several episodes of deformation of the forearc crust along the Peruvian margin. The 1 …

Fossil bones, together with teeth, are the most common remains of vertebrates that could
manage to get preserved over geological times, providing information on the diagenetic and …

Abstract The Humboldt Current System along the Pacific coast of South America creates one
of the most productive ecosystems on Earth. To trace the origin of the water masses in this …
