Stratigraphy comments: Mendes (1944) describes these beds as Upper Triassic on the basis of the bivalve fauna.
Corumbataí Formation is Capitanian - Wuchiapingian in age based on a combination of U/Pb zircon dating and relationship with other local formations (Rocha-Campos et al. 2019).
These beds are from the 'lower horizon' described in Mendes (1944).
