• coordinate stated in text

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Romualdo Formation (Santana Group), Late/Upper Aptian (122.5 - 113.0 Ma)

• Romualdo Formation, Santana Group, Araripe Basin.

•From Melo et al. 2020: In summary, this integrated study of foraminifera, ostracodes and other microfossil data from the Romualdo Formation indicates that the local Alagoas Stage (Ostracoda Zone RT-011) can now be constrained to the Aptian. Arai and Assine 2020 also support that the Romualdo Formation and Santana Group is entirely Aptian in age.
