FIG. 2. — A, Stratigraphy of the Pisco Basin, after DeVries et al. (2006). The red arrow indicates the Otuma Formation; B, Otuma Formation in the area where the holotype of Cynthiacetus peruvianus (MNHN.F.PRU10) was discovered; the white arrow points a nodule; C, site in the Otuma Formation where the holotype of Cynthiacetus peruvianus was found. This photo was taken in 2010, when we returned on the site of the 1977 excavation, in order to take the exact coordinates of the locality with a GPS. Photo G.
