Also known as Late Emsian/Eifelian Loc. 20 of Melo: Pimenteiras region

Where: Piaui, Brazil (6.3° S, 41.4° W: paleocoordinates 76.3° S, 9.0° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Lower Member (Pimenteira Formation), Eifelian (393.3 - 387.7 Ma)

• Collection not explicitly said to come from Pimenteira Fmn., but this seems rather clear from stratigraphic and geographic context: "Although the age of the [Pimenteira Fm.] is probably restricted to the Middle Devonian along the eastern outcrop belt [of which this locality is a part] its full range is Emsian through Famennian in the subsurface of central portions of the basin."; PJW: Carvalho et al. (1997) place this as Eifelian & note that it is the base of the formation

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; sandstone and siltstone

Size class: macrofossils
