PBDB Collection

Rio Pirabas (Maury coll.) (Miocene of Brazil)

Where: Para, Brazil (0.8° S, 47.1° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 1.2° S, 41.4° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pirabas Formation, Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)

• Horizontal beds of limestone near sea level. Closely associated with faunas of the Gatun, Bowden, and the Gurabo and Cercado Fm, but containing Orthaulax, which is not recorded in beds younger than the Chipola Fm of Florida, older than the above units. It is also present in the Baitoa Fm of the Dominican Republic. Maury (1924) therefore considered the fauna to be of Early Miocene age. Also shows close affinities to the Aquitanian srafe of France. Maury correlates this unit to the Chipola Fm of Florida and the Aquitanian of France. This was the lowest unit yet identified in the Neogene of Brazil.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; lithified, shelly/skeletal, gray limestone and lithified, sideritic, shelly/skeletal, brown limestone

• No environmental data reported.

• Fossiliferous limestone exhibits two beds, a grayish or light buff bed, a leached limestone or coquina composed of broken shells loosely cemented together and later calcified, while the other is a deeper color due to infiltration of limonite. Collection is believed to be from the lighter limestone unit.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression

Collection methods: quarrying,

• Artificial casts of the external molds were made. Collected by F. de Carvalho for G. de Campos of the Brazil Geological Survey. Types are reposited at the Museum of the Brazil Geological Survey.

Taxonomic list

• Fairly lengthy list, but possibly not exhaustive given the quality of the fauna. The nomenclature is antiquated, though has species-resolution assignments; identifications by Maury who had extensive knowledge of circum-Caribbean faunas.
