Emsian Loc. 14 of Melo: Boa Sentenca Ridge (Parana Basin, Alto Garcas Sub-basin) (Devonian of Brazil)
Where: Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil (19.0° S, 55.0° W: paleocoordinates 76.0° S, 96.8° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Chapada Group, Emsian (407.6 - 393.3 Ma)
Environment/lithology: marine; sandstone and shale
• No explicit lithology given for this locality. Chapada Group as a whole consists of shales, silts, and sands, much like the Ponta Grossa to the south. It is generally sandier, however, and inferred to represent shallower water.
