An Unusual Fossiliferous Site in the Romualdo Formation in the Socorro Basin (Northeast Brazil) [PDF]
The Santana Group, from the base to the top, comprises the Barbalha, Crato, Ipubi, and Romualdo formations. Calcareous concretions from the Romualdo Formation are found in the Araripe Basin, but the geographic extension of this sequence has evidence in ...

An unusual pterosaur specimen (Pterodactyloidea, ?azhdarchoidea) from the early cretaceous Romualdo formation of Brazil, and the evolution of the pterodactyloid palate. [PDF]
A new and unusual specimen of a probable azhdarchoid pterosaur is described for the Early Cretaceous (Albian) Romualdo Formation of Brazil. The specimen consists of a palate that, although fragmentary, has a unique morphology differing from all other ...

New marine data and age accuracy of the Romualdo Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil. [PDF]
Abstract A 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 ...

The Invertebrates of The Romualdo Formation, Araripe Basin: Analysis of Paleoecological and Paleogeographical Data [PDF]
Fossil invertebrates are good paleoenvironmental indicators due to their sensitivity to abiotic conditions, which contributes to the understanding of the Aptian-Albian of the Araripe Basin.

The first theropod dinosaur (Coelurosauria, Theropoda) from the base of the Romualdo Formation (Albian), Araripe Basin, Northeast Brazil. [PDF]
AbstractThe Romualdo Formation (Araripe Basin) is worldwide known for the large number of well-preserved fossils but the dinosaur record is rather scarce. Here we describe a new coelurosaur, which is the first tetrapod recovered from the basal layers of this stratigraphic unit that consist of dark shales. Aratasaurus museunacionali gen. et sp. nov.

The Ipubi and Romualdo Formations are Cretaceous units of the Araripe Basin (Santana Group). The first and most ancient was deposited in a lake environment, and some fossils were preserved in shales deposited under blackish conditions. The second was deposited in a marine environment, preserving a rich paleontological content in calcareous concretions.
