Esta espécie caracteriza-se por apresentar dentes de morfologia complexa, com uma cúspide principal e uma série de cúspides menores na base da coroa. São apresentados novos elementos referentes ao esqueleto pós-craniano de C. itapecuruense, bem como suas relações com outros Crocodylomorpha. O esqueleto pós-craniano de C. itapecuruense apresenta vértebras anficélicas com o corpo arredondado a levemente quadrangular. O úmero é alongado, cilíndrico e com uma crista deltopeitoral pronunciada. O fêmur é estreito, com a diáfise cilíndrica e reta. Os metatarsais são longos, delgados e com as extremidades pouco expandidas. Apresenta osteodermos muito delgados, de contorno quadrangular a cordiforme não ultrapassando 1mm de espessura, sendo a superfície interna lisa e a externa ornamentada com rugosidades e depressões irregulares. Em todos os osteodermos observa-se, na superfície externa, uma crista localizada no terço posterior da peça. Palavras-chave: Crocodylomorpha, Mesoeucrocodylia, Cretáceo Inferior, bacia do Parnaíba.

The new species is represented only by its holotype, which consists of an almost Pelomedusoides complete carapace and plastron, with an oval-shaped outline. The most peculiar characters of Itapecuruemys Lower Cretaceous amazonensis are: neural plates six and seven are separated by costal six, and the seventh neural plate contacts the Parnaíba basin sixth, seventh and eighth costal plates and a suprapygal. The phylogenetic hypothesis proposed in this paper Brazil suggests that Itapecuruemys amazonensis, together with Cearachelys and Galianemys spp., form a monophyletic assemblage and also widen the paleoherpetological diversity of the Itapecuru Formation in the Parnaíba Basin (Brazil).

Abstract: This study defines the neostratotype of the Lower-Middle Albian Itapecuru Formation in the Parnaíba Basin, Northeast Brazil. In this sedimentary succession along the right bank of the Itapecuru River near the Itapecuru-Mirim City, Maranhão State, three lithofacies associations are recognized. The first is silty claystone with some very fine sand, micaceous, reddish color, thin laminated, showing a tabular aspect, interpreted as floodplain fines in a distal position. The second is clayey siltstone, reddish color, with ripple cross-lamination, very thin cross-laminated wacke lenses, grading to thin parallel lamination, in apparently tabular layers, interpreted as crevasse splay and distributive channels deposits in successive avulsion events.

The Keywords: record emphasizes the existence of a trans-oceanic typical fauna, at least until the early Cenomanian, Alcântara Formation which may be interpreted as minor evolutionary changes after a major vicariant event or as a result of a São Luís Basin land bridge across the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, thereby allowing interchanges between South America Cretaceous Cenomanian and Africa. The paleoenvironmental conditions in the northern Maranhão State coast during that time were inferred as forested humid areas surrounded by an arid to semi-arid landscape.

The dipnoiformes material reported here comprises a new taxon, Equinoxiodus alcantarensis, gen. et sp. nov. Most of the identified morphotypes of continental vertebrates collected in the Alcântara Formation are similar to chronocorrelative faunas from Northern Africa, but this new genus of Dipnoiformes indicates some degree of paleogeographic isolation and endemism. This was probably caused by the widening of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean during the early Cenomanian, which may have selectively affected some species.

However, there are only few intact specimens or with fossilized embryos within, and the rare reported cases are mostly related to dinosaurs. In Brazil, the records of these ichnofossils are practically restricted to the Bauru Basin.

    DOI: 10.1590/2317-4889201820170071 ARTICLE New plant fossils from the Lower Cretaceous of the Parnaíba Basin, Northeastern Brazil: Southern Laurasia links Rafael Matos Lindoso1*, Tânia Lindner Dutra2, Ismar de Souza Carvalho3, Manuel Alfredo Medeiros4 ABSTRACT: This study reports on the presence of a diverse set of gymnosperm and angiosperm macrofossils from the Codó Formation, Parnaíba Basin, whose assemblage was previously known only by the occurrence of pollen grains, spores, wood fragments, leaves and roots associated with Nympheaceae. In the Brejo municipality, northeastern Maranhão State, marl levels attest a transitional to marginal lacustrine environment, with occasional marine ingressions, demonstrated by the presence of crustaceans, gastropods and fishes. The plant fossils are preserved exclusively by molds and impressions, and its diversity is represented by few specimens, suggesting taphonomic processes of selection and transportation. The taphoflora is composed of Gnetales (?Drewria), conifers (Cupressinocladus and Brachyphyllum), and basal angiosperms (Nympheales, Magnollids, and/or basal Eudicots), which support an upper Aptian – ?Albian age. It displays affinities with both the well-known flora of the Araripe Basin (Santana Formation) as well as those ones identified in deposits from the south of North America (Potomac Group), suggesting that terrestrial links persisted in the equatorial areas of the Pangea at the end of the Early Cretaceous.

The taxon is considered monophyletic, including five valid genera (Axelrodichthys, Chinlea, Diplurus, Mawsonia and Parnaibaia) and 11 genera with some taxonomical controversy (Alcoveria, Changxingia, Garnbergia, Heptanema, Indocoelacanthus, Libys, Lualabaea, Megalocoelacanthus, Moenkopia, Rhipis and Trachymetopon). The genera restricted to the Northern Hemisphere (Diplurus and Chinlea) possess the oldest records (Late Triassic), whereas those found in the Southern Hemisphere (Mawsonia, Axelrodichthys, and Parnaibaia) extend from Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous, especially in Brazil and Africa. We identified distributional patterns of Mawsoniidae, applying the panbiogeographical method of track analysis, and obtained three generalized tracks (GTs): GT1 (Northeastern Newark) in strata of the Newark Group (Upper Triassic); GT2 (Midwestern Gondwana) in the Lualaba Formation (Upper Jurassic); and GT3 (Itapecuru-Alcântara-Santana) in the Itapecuru-Alcântara- Santana formations (Lower Cretaceous).
