  • Miocene stratigraphy and vertebrate paleontology along the western side of Cerros Cadena de los Zanjones (East Pisco Basin, Peru)

    Open AccessGiulio Bosio, Alberto Collareta et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2025

    The Miocene Pisco Formation (East Pisco Basin, Peru) is renowned for its abundant, well-preserved fossils of marine vertebrates, representing one of the most spectacular and complete records of Neogene marine vertebrates worldwide. Here, we present a geological map at 1:10,000 scale investigating the spatial and temporal distribution of fossil vertebrates at Cerros Cadena de los Zanjones, in the Ica River Valley. Stratigraphic and paleontological…

  • Towards deciphering the Cenozoic evolution of the East Pisco Basin (southern Peru)

    Open AccessC Di Celma, P P Pierantoni et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2022

    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 1:50,000 scale geological map presented here encompasses an area of about 1,000 km 2 lying astride the Ica River, and contributes to our understanding of the timing and mode of basin filling and deformation. Our novel two-fold megasequence framework provides a sound basis for estab…

  • Distribution and paleoenvironmental framework of middle Miocene marine vertebrates along the western side of the lower Ica Valley (East Pisco Basin, Peru)

    Open AccessAlberto Collareta, C Di Celma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2021

    We report 130 vertebrate fossils preserved as bony elements and the co-occurring assemblage of fish teeth and spines from the lower strata of the Pisco Formation exposed along the western side of the lower Ica Valley (East Pisco Basin, Peru). Geological mapping at 1:10,000 scale reveals that all these fossils originate from the Langhian–Serravallian P0 allomember. In the study area, P0 is up to ∼40 m thick and features a sandy lower portion, refl…

  • Allostratigraphy and paleontology of the lower Miocene Chilcatay Formation in the Zamaca area, East Pisco basin, southern Peru

    Open AccessC Di Celma, P P Pierantoni et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2019

    Based on mapping of laterally traceable stratigraphic discontinuities, we propose a high-resolution allostratigraphic scheme for one of the world’s foremost fossil marine vertebrate Lagerstätten: the lower Miocene strata of the Chilcatay Formation exposed along the Ica River near Zamaca, southern Peru. Measured sections combined with 1:10,000 scale mapping of a 24 km2 area provide an overview of the stratal architecture, as well as a general faci…

  • Intraformational unconformities as a record of late Miocene eustatic falls of sea level in the Pisco Formation (southern Peru)

    Open AccessC Di Celma, E Malinverno et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2018

    Field mapping and sedimentological study of outcrop sections exposed along the Ica River valley permitted the establishment of a regional allostratigraphic framework for the upper Miocene portion of the Pisco Formation. The stratigraphy of the studied interval is illustrated using a new 1:20,000-scale geological map which reveals that this formation is a cyclical sedimentary succession composed of three fining-upward allomembers. The bounding sur…

  • Facies analysis, stratigraphy and marine vertebrate assemblage of the lower Miocene Chilcatay Formation at Ullujaya (Pisco basin, Peru)

    Open AccessC Di Celma, E Malinverno et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2018

    This paper is the first integrated account of the sedimentology, stratigraphy, and vertebrate paleontology for the marine strata of the Chilcatay Formation exposed at Ullujaya, Pisco basin (southern Peru). An allostratigraphic framework for the investigated strata was established using geological mapping (1:4000 scale) and conventional sedimentary facies analysis and resulted in recognition of two unconformity-bounded allomembers (designated Ct1 …

  • Sedimentology, faunal content and pollen record of Middle Pleistocene palustrine and lagoonal sediments from the Peri-Adriatic basin, Abruzzi, eastern central Italy

    Open AccessPierluigi Pieruccini, Silvia Ravani et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2016

    A 25 m-thick outcrop section exposed at Torre Mucchia, on the sea-cliff north of Ortona, eastern central Italy, comprises a rare Middle Pleistocene succession of shallow-water and paralic sediments along the western Adriatic Sea. An integrated study of the section, including facies and microfacies analyses, and characterization of paleobiological associations (mollusks, fishes, ostracods, foraminifers and pollen), enable a detailed reconstruction…

  • Distribution of fossil marine vertebrates in Cerro Colorado, the type locality of the giant raptorial sperm whale Livyatan melvillei (Miocene, Pisco Formation, Peru)

    Open AccessGiovanni Bianucci, C Di Celma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    Hundreds of fossil marine vertebrates cropping out at Cerro Colorado (Pisco Basin, Peru) are identified and reported on a 1:6500 scale geological map and in a joined stratigraphic section. All the fossils are from the lower strata of the Pisco Formation, dated in this area to the late middle or early late Miocene. They are particularly concentrated (88%) in the stratigraphic interval from 40 to 75 m above the unconformity with the underlying Chil…

  • Stratigraphic framework of the late Miocene to Pliocene Pisco Formation at Cerro Colorado (Ica Desert, Peru)

    Open AccessC Di Celma, E Malinverno et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    This paper describes a 200 m-thick section of the Pisco Formation exposed at Cerro Colorado, an important fossiliferous site in the Ica desert. In order to properly place the fauna in its correct relative position, this study establishes the stratigraphic framework within which the different fossil-bearing intervals of this site can be compared and may prove invaluable in future high-resolution studies on the faunal change. Most of the Pisco Form…

  • Evolution of the Gelasian (Pleistocene) slope turbidite systems of southern Marche (Peri-Adriatic basin, central Italy)

    Open AccessC Di Celma, Riccardo Teloni et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    Examples of slope channels and canyons being diverted by structurally related sea-floor topography are commonly found both on the modern seabed and in the subsurface, in deep-water fold and thrust belts but their depositional histories have rarely been documented using examples from outcrop. The synthesis of outcrop (original geological field mapping at 1:10,000 scale) and subsurface data sets from the early Pleistocene stratigraphic succession o…

  • Geology and sedimentary facies of the Pliocene succession of the Baronia Mountains (Ariano Basin, southern Italy)

    Open AccessC Di Celma, Andrea Rustichelli et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    An up to 1500 m-thick clastic succession, the late Zanclean Baronia Synthem, has been analysed in detail in the Ariano wedge-top Basin (southern Apennine, Italy). In the Baronia Mountains the studied sediments are well exposed and laterally mappable due to young uplift and exhumation and rest unconformably on a complexly deformed pre-Pliocene substratum formed by Triassic to Miocene allochthonous units. The Baronia Synthem has been resolved into …

  • Stratigraphic framework of the late Miocene Pisco Formation at Cerro Los Quesos (Ica Desert, Peru)

    Open AccessC Di Celma, E Malinverno et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    The enormous concentration of marine vertebrates documented within the Pisco Formation is unique for Peru and South America and places this unit among the prime fossil Lagerstätten for Miocene to Pliocene marine mammals worldwide. In order to provide a robust stratigraphic framework for the fossil-bearing locality of Cerro Los Quesos, this study presents a 1:10,000 scale geological map covering an area of about 21 km2, a detailed measured section…

  • Fossil marine vertebrates of Cerro Los Quesos

    Open AccessGiovanni Bianucci, C Di Celma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2016

    One-hundred and ninety-two fossil marine vertebrate specimens, preserved as bone elements cropping out at Cerro Los Quesos (Pisco Basin, Peru), are identified and reported on a 1:4,000 scale geological map and in the corresponding stratigraphic section. All the fossils originate from the Pisco Formation, which is dated in this area to the late Miocene (from 7.55 Ma to ≥6.71 Ma, based on 40Ar/39Ar analyses of three volcanic ash layers along the se…

  • Major controls on architecture, sequence stratigraphy and paleosols of middle Pleistocene continental sediments ("Qc Unit"), eastern central Italy

    Open AccessC Di Celma, Pierluigi Pieruccini et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2015

    Middle Pleistocene continental sediments in central Italy ("Qc Unit") record the oldest fluvial accumulation along the uplifting margin of the Peri-Adriatic basin. The architecture of the sediment body can be divided into two unconformity-bounded, fining-upward cycles interpreted as genetically related depositional sequences. These sequences highlight the systematic adjustment of the fluvial system to changes in the ratio between accommodation sp…

  • Geological map of the Miocene-Pleistocene successions of the Mejillones Peninsula, Northern Chile

    Open AccessC Di Celma, P P Pierantoni et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2014

    The Mejillones Peninsula (northern Chile) has undergone a complex tectono-sedimentary history from the Miocene onward and is dissected by a network of normal faults that generated three asymmetric half-grabens located in a forearc position with respect to the Chile subduction system. A new 1:50,000-scale geological map of the peninsula, covering an area of ca 800 km 2 and based on a detailed facies analysis and field mapping (1:20,000 scale) in c…
