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

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

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.

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