Geological map: Geology of the East Pisco Basin, Ica Desert, Peru
No full textThe 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 km2 lying astride the Ica River, and contributes to our understanding of the timing and mode of basin filling and deformation
Tephrochronology and chronostratigraphy of the Miocene Chilcatay and Pisco formations (East Pisco Basin, Peru)
No full textStrata of Chilcatay and Pisco formations exposed in the Ica Desert (East Pisco Basin, southern Peru) preserve one of the most complete and rich records of Miocene marine vertebrates of the world. Despite its exceptional importance, the chronostratigraphy of these fossil-bearing deposits has been only sporadically studied in the literature until recently. This work presents a detailed reconstruction of the chronostratigraphic framework, achieved by mapping and logging of seven sections of the Miocene Chilcatay and Pisco formations along the western side of the Ica River. The Chilcatay Formation consists of two allomembers, namely Ct1 and Ct2, bounded at the base by unconformities CE0.1 and CE0.2, respectively. Similarly, the immediately overlying Pisco Formation is divided into allomembers P0, P1, and P2, bounded at the base by unconformities PE0.0, PE0.1 and PE0.2, respectively. The new 39Ar–40Ar results presented here, combined with ages of previous work, provide precise constraints on the age of several stratigraphically referenced volcanic ash layers intercalated in the studied fossil-bearing succession, placing its vertebrate fossil fauna within a refined temporal framework and laying the solid ground for its detailed regional and global comparison. The ages of the allomembers, and thus their associated faunas, can be reliably estimated by the combination of 39Ar–40Ar dating on tephra layers with diatom biostratigraphy. In the study area, the two methods are mutually consistent and constrain the deposition of the Chilcatay Formation between 19.2 and 18.0 Ma, that of P1 between 9.5 and 8.6 Ma, and that of P2 between 8.4 and 6.7 Ma. In the absence of direct dating of the P0 allomember, which lacks both preserved tephra suitable for 39Ar–40Ar dating and microfossils, its age can be constrained to the temporal gap between the youngest age available from the underlying Chilcatay strata (18.0 Ma) and the oldest age available from the overlying P1 strata (9.5 Ma)

Stratigraphic framework of the late Miocene Pisco Formation at Cerro Los Quesos (Ica Desert, Peru)
No full text<p>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 km<sup>2</sup>, a detailed measured section spanning 290 m of strata, and a refined chronostratigraphy for the studied succession well constrained by diatom biostratigraphy and high-resolution <sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar isotopic dating of three interbedded ash layers. Within the apparently monotonous, diatomite-dominated sedimentary section, the Pisco Formation has been subdivided into six local members, with stratigraphic control over the different outcrops facilitated by the establishment of a detailed marker bed stratigraphy based on 15 readily distinguishable sediment layers of different nature.</p
Escenario comercial del sector del Pisco peruano
No full textEl Pisco es una bebida espirituosa obtenida de la destilación de jugo de uvas pisqueras recientemente fermentadas. Esta bebida ha sido reconocida por el estado peruano y la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual como una denominación de origen peruana. En los últimos años, el mercado de pisco ha tenido un crecimiento constante en respuesta a la demanda de productos diferenciados y de alta calidad, consecuencia del fortalecimiento del ambiente institucional y el desarrollo de estrategias de promoción por parte del estado. En este sentido, el objetivo del presente trabajo es describir el ambiente comercial nacional e internacional del Pisco peruano, con la finalidad de identificar nuevas oportunidades de mercado. La metodología usada fue el modelo de las tres vías propuesto por Joskow, con foco en dos de ellas: la Vía del Ambiente Institucional y la Vía de la Moderna Organización Industrial. Los resultados del estudio indicarían que el marco institucional en la que se apalanca el sector del Pisco, es adecuado, es decir, sus políticas están orientadas a impulsar la inversión y el fomento de las exportaciones, puesto que permitió el impulso de la producción y exportación del pisco, así como la protección de los derechos de propiedad, como la denominación de origen del Pisco. En la moderna organización industrial, los resultados arrojan una demanda interna incipiente, sin embargo la demanda externa ha mostrado un alentador crecimiento en países donde su economía se proyecta un gran crecimiento. Asimismo la producción en el Perú, mostró un gran desempeño en los años 2001-2012, cuya tasa acumulada de crecimiento anual fue del 13.29 por ciento, superior a las de Chile, principal competidor en la producción y comercialización de Pisco. En cuando a las exportaciones, Perú, asumió el liderazgo desde el 2008, donde por primera vez, las exportaciones peruanas superaron a las chilenas en relación al valor de las exportaciones, debido a un mayor precio FOB percibido. De esta manera, se deduce que para el Perú se presenta un escenario optimista y de oportunidades en relación al sector del Pisco, puesto que tiene mejores condiciones para la producción y comercio de esta bebida, lo que conlleva a la conquista de nuevos mercados y la inserción del Pisco tanto en el mercado mundial como nacional
Vertebrate palaeoecology of the Pisco Formation (Miocene, Peru): Glimpses into the ancient Humboldt Current Ecosystem
No full textThe 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 globally important ecosystem based on a detailed palaeoecological analysis of the exceptionally preserved middle–upper Miocene vertebrate assemblages of the Pisco Formation of the East Pisco Basin, southern Peru. We summarise observations on hundreds of fossil whales, dolphins, seals, seabirds, turtles, crocodiles, sharks, rays, and bony fishes to reconstruct ecological relationships in the wake of the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum, and the marked cooling that followed it. The lowermost, middle Miocene Pisco sequence (P0) and its vertebrate assemblage testify to a warm, semi-enclosed, near-shore palaeoenvironment. During the first part of the Tortonian (P1), high productivity within a prominent upwelling system supported a diverse assemblage of mesopredators, at least some of which permanently resided in the Pisco embayment and used it as a nursery or breeding/calving area. Younger portions of the Pisco Formation (P2) reveal a more open setting, with wide-ranging species like rorquals increasingly dominating the vertebrate assemblage, but also local differences reflecting distance from the coast. Like today, these ancient precursors of the modern Humboldt Current Ecosystem were based on sardines, but notably differed from their present-day equivalent in being dominated by extremely large-bodied apex predators like Livyatan melvillei and Carcharocles megalodon
Towards deciphering the Cenozoic evolution of the East Pisco Basin (southern Peru)
No full textThe 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 km2 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 establishing a first-order tectono-stratigraphic setting of the mid-Eocene–upper Miocene succession exposed in the study area. We interpret that the mid-Eocene to lower Oligocene succession studied in this work (megasequence P) was deposited in a single forearc basin, which was dissected into the present-day West and East Pisco basins by a fault-bounded basement high during the late Oligocene, and subsequently overlain by the Miocene fill of the East Pisco basin (megasequence N)
First report on the cirratulid (Annelida, Polychaeta) reefs from the Miocene Chilcatay and Pisco Formations (East Pisco Basin, Peru)
No full textTube-dwelling cirratulids from the Miocene Chilcatay and Pisco Formations of southern Peru are described herein for the first time. These worms constitute tube aggregates cropping out in Burdigalian and Tortonian strata of the East Pisco Basin. These specimens are here referred to the extinct species Diplochaetetes mexicanus Wilson, 1986, which was so far known from the Oligocene and lower Miocene of the Pacific Mexico. The new finds represent the first described fossil record of cirratulids from South America. Different morphologies of the tube aggregates are described, as well as their internal framework and the tube wall features. The palaeoecological and palaeobiogeographical implications of these Miocene cirratulid reefs are then discussed
Strontium Isotope Stratigraphy and the thermophilic fossil fauna from the middle Miocene of the East Pisco Basin (Peru)
No full textNew age estimates obtained via Strontium Isotope (87Sr/86Sr) Stratigraphy and new paleoclimatic data are here presented for the Miocene Chilcatay and Pisco formations exposed in the East Pisco Basin, an Andean forearc basin of southern Peru, which is renowned worldwide for its exceptional content of fossil marine vertebrates. Mollusk and barnacle shells, carbonate nodules, and shark teeth were collected along three stratigraphic sections for applying Strontium Isotope Stratigraphy on both carbonates and phosphates. To avoid diagenetic biases, mollusk and barnacle shells were analyzed in detail by means of optical and scanning electron microscopy, cathodoluminescence, and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry, whereas only the enameloid from the best-preserved shark teeth was sampled. The obtained 87Sr/86Sr ages confirm a late early Miocene (Burdigalian) age for the Chilcatay strata, and reveal middle Miocene (Langhian to Serravallian) ages for the lower Pisco unit (i.e., the P0 sequence) – a result that matches the relatively archaic aspect of its cetacean fossil assemblage. New and literature data about the fossil assemblage of the lower Pisco beds highlight the presence of several thermophilic invertebrates and vertebrates, thus suggesting a warm-water, tropical paleoenvironment for this middle Miocene sequence. Such a paleoenvironmental scenario recalls the warm conditions associated with the Chilcatay Formation, rather than the cooler setting inferred for the remainder of the Pisco Formation (i.e., the P1 and P2 sequences). This pattern likely reflects the late Miocene trend of global cooling, as well as a middle to early late Miocene strengthening of the Humboldt Current
