Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

Early Cenomanian ammonites from East and North-East Greenland
Early Cenomanian (100.5–95.7 Ma) ammonite faunas from East and North-East Greenland collected by the late Simon Kelly and colleagues are described. The assemblages are dominated by typically boreal Schloenbachia varians (J. Sowerby 1817).
