Stratigraphy
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | unlithified argillaceous,sandy conglomerate |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: At the Suse II Farm, blocks of conglomerate sediments were recovered in addition to the fossils inside the "tank" as well as bone fragments. Other works report the fossils form those deposits placed just above the conglomerate. An analysis of the conglomerate showed the presence of clays rich in organic matter, fine and angular quartz, fine muscovite, calcite, fossil bone fragments, and carbonized leaves. | |
| Environment: | terrestrial indet. |
| Glacial or sequence phase: | glacial |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body,permineralized,coalified,replaced with calcite,replaced with other |
| Degree of concentration: | -multiple events |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
| Spatial orientation: | random |
| Preservation of anatomical detail: | variable |
| Size sorting: | poor |
| Fragmentation: | frequent |
| Spatial resolution: | parautochthonous |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection excludes: | species names | ||
| Collection methods: | observed (not collected) | ||
| Reason for describing collection: | taphonomic analysis | ||
| Collectors: | Mr. Marlon Luiz de Assis Coelho | Collection dates: | 1999 |
| Collection method comments: The fossil discoveries in the Suse II Farm "tank" took place in accidental way, therefore, the specimens collected suffered from artificial selection, being picked only well-preserved specimens. The authors thank Mr. Marlon Luiz de Assis Coelho, owner of the Sse II Farm, for the donation of the fossils to the Geology Laboratory of the UESB. | |||
