“…Raman and FT-IR spectroscopies 5,6 , X ray microCT [7][8][9] , NanoSIMs 10 ) to the study of fossils has expanded research in paleobiology and led it to a higher level of sophistication, and it is called paleometry 11 . Inspired in the well established Brazilian archaeometry which studies archaeological, etnographical and the so called patrimonial materials [12][13][14][15][16] , the application of paleometrical techniques to the study of many Brazilian fossils is still growing [17][18][19][20][21] and opening new perspectives to deepen our knowledge of the biological affinities and paleoecological aspects. Some exceptionally well-preserved fossils (e.g.…”

Paleometry is a promising research field that brings together different areas, such as physics and chemistry, applied to paleobiological issues. In spite of being recognized abroad, it is a new research field in Brazil. The most important characteristic is the application of mostly non-destructive techniques to the study of fossils. This work compiles some paleometrical applications to different geological contexts, such as the synthesis of hard skeleton in Corumbella werneri, geochemical aspects about fresh water bivalves from the Bauru Group and the exceptional preservation of arthropods from the Crato Member. Diffuse Reflectance Infrared (DRIFT) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) were complementary to elucidate the types of skeletogenesys in Corumbella. In the case of the bivalves, DRIFT revealed to be important to elucidate aspects about death and fossilization. Among arthropods, morphological analysis with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) associated with EDX was more profitable to understand fossilization process and paleoenvironmental implications.

“…Despite the possibility that birds were also prey, the fossil record of the established trophic chain do not yet show that these animals were a food source for other organisms. Furthermore, coprolites did not yet provide evidence of this diet ( Maisey , 1991 ; Martill , 1993 ; Lima et al , 2007 ).…”

Here we describe three fossil feathers from the Early Cretaceous Santana Formation of the Araripe Basin, Brazil. Feathers are the most complex multiform vertebrate integuments; they perform different functions, occurring in both avian and non-avian dinosaurs. Despite their rarity, fossil feathers have been found across the world. Most of the Brazilian feather fossil record comes from the Santana Formation. This formation is composed of two members: Crato (lake) and Romualdo (lagoon); both of which are predominantly reduced deposits, precluding bottom dwelling organisms, resulting in exceptional preservation of the fossils. Despite arid and hot conditions during the Cretaceous, life teemed in the adjacency of this paleolake. Feathered non-avian dinosaurs have not yet been described from the Crato Member, even though there are suggestions of their presence in nearby basins. Our description of the three feathers from the Crato laminated limestone reveals that, despite the small sample size, they can be referred to coelurosaurian theropods. Moreover, based on comparisons with extant feather morphotypes they can be identified as one contour feather and two downy feathers. Despite their rareness and low taxonomic potential, fossilized feathers can offer insights about the paleobiology of its owners and the paleoecology of the Araripe Basin.

“…As pesquisas científicas envolvendo os fósseis da Bacia do Araripe, apesar de relativamente intensas, se restringiam basicamente à prospecção e identificação taxonômica (Lima, et al, 2007a), no entanto, atualmente este cenário mudou, visto que o uso de técnicas analíticas como a difração de raios-X e a espectroscopia, adequadas à caracterização de materiais, está cada vez mais presente nas rotinas dos estudos paleontológicos na Bacia do Araripe, principalmente na última década. O primeiro trabalho nessa área apresentou um estudo de caracterização da composição das escamas de um peixe fóssil oriundo da Formação Romualdo (Grupo Santana), do período Cretáceo, utilizando as técnicas de difração de raios-X em policristais e espectroscopia na região do infravermelho (Lima, et al, 2007a). A partir desse estudo pioneiro, as análises paleométricas nesta região, tornaramse mais frequentes, totalizando 17 trabalhos publicados até o momento, dentre eles, destacam-se; Sousa Filho, et al, ( , 2016; Bantim, et al, (2015); Silva, et al, (2013aSilva, et al, ( , 2013b; Oliveira, et al, (2015); Freire, et al, (2014); Barros, et al, (2019).…”

A presente pesquisa trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo narrativa, com o objetivo de apresentar o estado da arte, contendo um panorama atualizado de todos os trabalhos publicados referentes ao uso de técnicas paleométricas na caracterização dos fósseis pertencentes à Bacia do Araripe de forma cronológica no tempo e espaço. As informações foram obtidas por meio de pesquisas em bases de dados online, além de consultas aos repositórios acadêmicos. O emprego da paleometria começou a se expandir no cenário desta unidade estratigráfica a partir das pesquisas de Lima e colaboradores em 2007. Embora já se tenha passado 16 anos desde esses trabalhos pioneiros, poucos estudos foram publicados, totalizando apenas 17 trabalhos até o momento, além de que, essas pesquisas se mostraram restritas, quase exclusivamente ao Grupo Santana (nas Formações Crato, Ipubi e Romualdo) existindo então, uma lacuna para as outras Formações detentoras de fósseis, que compõem a história geológica da região. Espera-se que os dados aqui reunidos e apresentados possam subsidiar e incentivar futuras pesquisas na área, contribuindo, dessa forma, com o progresso e ampliação da paleometria na Bacia do Araripe.
