Where: Goias, Brazil (9.6° S, 48.2° W: paleocoordinates 77.1° S, 20.9° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Pimenteira Formation, Eifelian to Eifelian (393.3 - 382.7 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."
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; sandstone and siltstone
