Abstract
Abstract. Micropaleontological investigations performed at four sections in the Pucará Group, northwestern Peru, revealed the presence of late Triassic calcareous nannofossils. Recovered assemblages are poorly preserved and show low abundance and species richness. However, these findings represent one of the three records outside the Tethyan Realm and allow independent biostratigraphic constraints for the Pucará Group. In the Cantera Tello section, Chambará Formation, only the genus Prinsiosphaera was observed, suggesting a late Norian age for the lower part, and the occurrence of Eoconusphaera zlambachensis indicates a Rhaetian age for the upper part. In the Río Cocahuayco section, Chambará, and Aramachay formations, only the genus Prinsiosphaera was recovered, indicating the late Triassic. In Ricardo Palma section, Aramachay Formation, the presence of E. zlambachensis indicates a Rhaetian age. The Aguas Verdes section, Condorsinga Formation, yields an assemblage with P. triassica and E. zlambachensis, indicating that, at least in this part of the basin, the lower section of this Formation is Rhaetian.

期刊介绍:
Ameghiniana is a bimonthly journal that publishes original contributions on all disciplines related to paleontology, with a special focus on the paleontology of Gondwana and the biotic history of the southern hemisphere. Published yearly since 1957, it has undoubtedly become the main palaeontological publication from Latin America. Ameghiniana has recently broadened its editorial board, reorganized its production process, and increased to a bimonthly frequency, which resulted in a significant decrease in the turn around time.
