  abstract = {{W}e provide a synopsis of similar to 60 million years of life history in {N}eotropical lowlands, based on a comprehensive survey of the {C}enozoic deposits along the {Q}uebrada {C}achiyacu near {C}ontamana in {P}eruvian {A}mazonia. {T}he 34 fossil bearing localities identified have yielded a diversity of fossil remains, including vertebrates, mollusks, arthropods, plant fossils, and microorganisms, ranging from the early {P}aleocene to the late {M}iocene-?{P}liocene (>20 successive levels). {T}his {C}enozoic series includes the base of the {H}uchpayacu {F}ormation ({F}m.; early {P}aleocene; lacustrine/fluvial environments; charophyte-dominated assemblage), the {P}ozo {F}m. (middle + ?late {E}ocene; marine then freshwater environments; most diversified biomes), and complete sections for the {C}hambira {F}m. (late {O}ligocene-late early {M}iocene; freshwater environments; vertebrate-dominated faunas), the {P}ebas {F}m. (late early to early late {M}iocene; freshwater environments with an increasing marine influence; excellent fossil record), and {I}pururo {F}m. (late {M}iocene-?{P}liocene; fully fluvial environments; virtually no fossils preserved). {A}t least 485 fossil species are recognized in the {C}ontamana area (similar to 250 'plants', similar to 212 animals, and 23 foraminifera). {B}ased on taxonomic lists from each stratigraphic interval, high-level taxonomic diversity remained fairly constant throughout the middle {E}ocene-{M}iocene interval (8-12 classes), ordinal diversity fluctuated to a greater degree, and family/species diversity generally declined, with a drastic drop in the early {M}iocene. {T}he {P}aleocene-?{P}liocene fossil assemblages from {C}ontamana attest at least to four biogeographic histories inherited from (i) {M}esozoic {G}ondwanan times, (ii) the {P}anamerican realm prior to (iii) the time of {S}outh {A}merica's {C}enozoic "splendid isolation", and (iv) {N}eotropical ecosystems in the {A}mericas. {N}o direct evidence of any {N}orth {A}merican terrestrial immigrant has yet been recognized in the {M}iocene record at {C}ontamana.},
