“…Here, we report on two black shale units deposited in a marine setting in the intracratonic Araripe Basin of NE Brazil during the late Early Cretaceous (Martill, 1993;Fara et al, 2005). The black shales reported here correspond to the Pedra Branca and Romualdo Members of the Santana Formation, which is world-famous for its exceptionally preserved fish and reptile fauna with phosphatized soft tissue (Martill, 1988;Smith, 2000).…”

“…2). The concretions host the exceptionally preserved fossil assemblage that has made the Santana Formation a world-famous fossil lagersta¨tte (Martill, 1993(Martill, , 2007Fara et al, 2005). Apart from the high abundance and diversity of the vertebrate, invertebrate and plant fossils, the high-fidelity preservation of phosphatized soft tissue is the most remarkable feature of these deposits (Martill, 1988).…”

A) Vista palatal de um crânio de Os fossillagerstätten são extraordinários sítios fossilíferos providos de abundante informação sobre as biotas passadas (FARA et al, 2005), a Formação Romualdo é um destes raros exemplos. As concreções fossilíferas desta formação oferecem indubitavelmente, uma oportunidade única para a investigação de estruturas tempo-espacial de comunidades passadas, em escalas locais e regionais (FARA et al, 2005).…”

“…A) Vista palatal de um crânio de Os fossillagerstätten são extraordinários sítios fossilíferos providos de abundante informação sobre as biotas passadas (FARA et al, 2005), a Formação Romualdo é um destes raros exemplos. As concreções fossilíferas desta formação oferecem indubitavelmente, uma oportunidade única para a investigação de estruturas tempo-espacial de comunidades passadas, em escalas locais e regionais (FARA et al, 2005). Entretanto, em detrimento da importância de tais sítios, reside o fato do conhecimento atual sobre as biotas fósseis da Formação Romualdo, serem em sua maioria, baseados em espécimes depositados em museus, sem informações acerca de sua procedência, ou em observações de campo limitadas (FARA et al, 2005).…”

“…These two different lagerstätten were formed during the Lower Cretaceous, Aptian/Albian (Pons et al, 1990; Ponte & Ponte Filho, 1996;Neumann & Cabrera, 1999) and have yielded several fossil reptiles such as turtles, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and crocodylomorphs (e.g. Kellner, 1987;Kellner & Campos, 1999Fara et al, 2005;Oliveira & Romano, 2007).…”
