	The Pisco formation is a fossil site in Peru that contains some 346 well preserved whales and some other fossil animals. It has an area of 1.5-~~km2~~ and is 80-m thick. Using [[radiometric dating]] methods, the site gave an age of 10-12 million years old. It mainly consists of a sedimentary rock called diatomite. This site, which was brought to attention by [[Art Chadwick]], [[Leonard Brand]], [[Raúl Esperante]], and [[Poma]], is one of the world's best examples of a formation being created by Noah's flood.
