Paleontological Sites of Pisco and Camana Basins

Paleontological Sites of Pisco and Camana Basins is a group of fossils deposits representative of the life and ecosystems that have existed on the Peruvian coast over the last 40 million years, constituting "the best global example of the speciation of marine fauna in the Neogene and part of the Paleogene". Fossils of vertebrates and invertebrates, from marine, coastal and insular environments, among others, are found here. It is an extraordinary testimony to the evolutionary processes of marine species, including, among the most remarkable, cetaceans, pinnipeds, sharks and giant sloths.
