Near Paracas, 1 hour distant to the east, there is a freshwater lagoon known as Laguna Moron surrounded by sand dunes. Curiously these remains can also be found. They are normally found in the eastern Atlantic at depths of 200 meters and in Peru they can be seen on the surface of the ground.

Fossil and subfossil shells of Turritella communis have been found in interglacial strata of the North Sea, from the late Pliocene to the Quaternary period.

There will always be time to be here after the nazca flights.
