Where: Goias, Brazil (8.8° S, 48.4° W: paleocoordinates 76.3° S, 20.4° 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
