text:
The Marañón fold and thrust belt is a 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) long, northwest–southeast trending belt of deformed rocks located in the Andes of central Peru. The formation of the belt defines the Incaic Phase of the Andean orogeny. Prior to the deformation and uplift the rocks forming the Marañón fold and thrust belt constituted the fill of a marine back-arc basin that existed in the Mesozoic and was parallel to the present-day coast. The west-dipping Chonta Fault existed as a normal fault wit
