Nazária (PB 200) (Permian of Brazil)

Where: Piauí, Brazil (5.4° S, 42.8° W: paleocoordinates 29.8° S, 12.3° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: Pedra de Fogo Formation, Cisuralian (298.9 - 272.3 Ma)

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithified, massive, brown mudstone and lithified, fine-grained sandstone

• Unlike all other Pedra de Fogo tetrapods found in the area, which are preserved in massive, silicified mudstones of lacustrine origin, the new specimen comes from an erosive-based fine-grained sandstone located at the top of the mudstone at a level of approximately 2.5 m in the exposed section.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: All specimens were recovered at quarries along the PI-130 highway, where silicified claystone blocks are extracted for use as construction material in Teresina and neighbouring cities.
