An Unusual Fossiliferous Site in the Romualdo Formation in the Socorro Basin (Northeast Brazil)

Anuário do Instituto de Geociências, 2023
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 the Socorro Basin on the border of the state of Pernambuco; however, these areas outside of the ...

Anhanguera taxonomy revisited: is our understanding of Santana Group pterosaur diversity biased by poor biological and stratigraphic control? [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Anhanguerids comprise an important clade of pterosaurs, mostly known from dozens of three-dimensionally preserved specimens recovered from the Lower Cretaceous Romualdo Formation (northeastern Brazil).

First record of an amniotic egg from the Romualdo Formation (Lower Cretaceous, Araripe Basin, Brazil)

Revista Brasileira de Paleontologia, 2020
Fossil amniotic eggs have great informative potential, especially regarding reproductive and evolutionary aspects of vertebrates. However, there are only few intact specimens or with fossilized embryos within, and the rare reported cases are mostly related to dinosaurs.

Cassiopidae gastropods, influence of Tethys Sea of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian–Albian), Araripe Basin, Brazil

Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2016
Abstract The Cassiopidae family belongs to a group of gastropods of the Tethyan Realm, whose origin and dispersion are related a transgression of the Tethys Sea during the Early Cretaceous. The Romualdo Formation in the Araripe Basin, located in Northeast Brazil, presents fossil assemblages with echinoids, bivalves and cassiopid gastropods ...

A New Genus and Species of †Cladocyclidae (Teleostei: †Ichthyodectiformes) from the Lower Cretaceous “Batateira Beds”, Barbalha Formation, Araripe Basin: The First Vertebrate Record in a Still Poorly Explored Fossil Site

Diversity, 2023
The Mesozoic Teleostei †Ichthyodectiformes presents a widespread distribution in marine brackish and freshwater deposits worldwide. The Brazilian fossil record of this group is represented by five nominal genera distributed exclusively in the sedimentary

An unusual edentulous pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous Romualdo Formation of Brazil

Historical Biology, 2014
Numerous taxa make up the Early Cretaceous fauna of Brazil, including Ornithocheiroidea, Tapejaridae, Thalassodromidae, Chaoyangopteridae and a purported member of Azhdarchidae. Dsungaripteridae has only been tentatively assumed to be present in the form of ‘Santanadactylus’ spixi.

New occurrences of fossilized feathers: systematics and taphonomy of the Santana Formation of the Araripe Basin (Cretaceous), NE, Brazil [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Here we describe three fossil feathers from the Early Cretaceous Santana Formation of the Araripe Basin, Brazil. Feathers are the most complex multiform vertebrate integuments; they perform different functions, occurring in both avian and non-avian ...

Preparation of fossil shrimps from the Romualdo Formation

Terrae Didatica
Fossil preparation is essential for exhibition, preservation, and paleontological analysis, ensuring structural integrity and revealing morphoanatomical and taphonomic data. This study details the preparation of a fossilized shrimp from the Romualdo Formation (MPSC CR3907p and MPSC CR3907cp), housed at the Plácido Cidade Nuvens Museum of Paleontology ...
