Casma Group
The Casma Group (Spanish: Grupo Casma) is a stratigraphic group of Mesozoic-aged sedimentary formations exposed along the coast and within the Cordillera Occidental near Casma, Peru. The sediments of the Casma Group reflect deposition in two distinct environments of the West Peruvian Basin. Some sediments were deposited near the Casma Volcanic Arc in an intra-cratonic sedimentary basin that was occasionally connected to the ocean. Other sediments were deposited in what was once a continental platform bounded by reefs and with anoxic pockets.
