Analogue modelling of basin inversion: implications for the Araripe Basin (Brazil) [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2023 Basin inversion is a process that takes place when a sedimentary basin is subjected to compressional stresses resulting in the reactivation of pre-existing faults and/or the localization of deformation along new reverse faults.

Extending the Geographic Range of Pterosaurs in the Araripe Basin: First Record from the Romualdo Formation (Araripe Basin) in Piauí, Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe Araripe Basin in northeastern Brazil is a key site for Cretaceous pterosaur fossils from Gondwanan deposits. Most discoveries are concentrated in its northern portion, particularly in Ceará state, within the Crato and Romualdo formations. In contrast,

For your eyes too: a new set of images of biological materials from the scientific commissioning of the MOGNO beamline at Sirius. [PDF]
J Synchrotron RadiatFrom whole specimens to histological level reconstructions, images derived from 3D synchrotron‐based microtomography (SR‐microCT) have emerged as a tool that is revolutionizing a wide range of biological research. This paper presents the first commissioning results from experiments to image the anatomy of small animals and specimens from zooarchaeology

The palate and choanae structure of the Susisuchus anatoceps (Crocodyliformes, Eusuchia): phylogenetic implications [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Crocodyliformes is a group with a broad fossil record, in which several morphological changes have been documented. Among known transformations the most iconic is perhaps the series of changes seen in the structural evolution of the choanae.

Petrography of Evaporite Facies from the Ipubi Member, Santana Formation (Araripe Basin) [PDF]
Anuário do Instituto de Geociências, 2018 The Ipubi member of the Santana Formation (Araripe Basin) is a sulfated evaporite succession composed of gypsum and anhydrite of Aptian age, thus, it is chronocorrelated to the Brazilian Margin Salt Phase, when thick layers of salts accumulated.

Mineralization Controls Informative Biomarker Preservation Associated With Soft Part Fossilization in Deep Time. [PDF]
GeobiologyABSTRACT Diagenetically mineralized fossil tissues represent invaluable paleobiological evidence of past life. Lipid biomarkers may be identified alongside fossils, yet the relationship between localized, diagenetic mineral precipitation, and lipid preservation remains underexplored.

New marine data and age accuracy of the Romualdo Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractA combined biostratigraphic and palaeoecological study of foraminifera, ostracodes and microfacies was carried out on the Aptian in the Sítio Sobradinho section of the Araripe Basin, northeast Brazil. The analysed section represents a deepening-upward sequence with mid-ramp shoal and outer ramp to basin facies associations on a mixed ...
