Late Emsian/Eifelian Loc. 13 of Melo: Rondonopolis (Devonian to of Brazil)

Where: Mato Grosso, Brazil (16.5° S, 54.6° W: paleocoordinates 77.2° S, 83.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Chapada Group, Emsian to Emsian (407.6 - 387.7 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.
