“…The Catoca Mine provides one of the few limiting quantitative age estimates for Early Cretaceous vertebrate fossils in Africa. More broadly, Linol et al (2015) correlate the Kwango Group, in which by extension we would include sediments in the Catoca crater, with the Bauru Group in the Paraná Basin of Brazil, which has produced a number of sauropods and other vertebrate taxa, but only one jaw fragment with a premolar of a small mammal (Candeiro et al, 2006). A larger mammal, Vincelestes, is known from the Early Cretaceous of Argentina.…”

“…Thus, lithostratigraphic units related to the Permian show the record of a warm, shallow sea that was gradually silt up, increasing the influence of freshwater (Rohn 2007). This basin continentalisation followed a worldwide trend of aridity due to the assembly of Pangaea (Linol et al 2015), a good reason to preserve some of the outcrops related to this event.…”

“…Finally, during the Mesozoic, the portion of western Gondwana, where the basin is located, experienced arid climates that completed the tendency to continentalisation, which started in the Permian. The desert climate is characterised by extensive dune fields that at the end of Jurassic alternated with basaltic flows arising from the separation of Africa and South America and the consequent opening of the South Atlantic Ocean, which concludes the sedimentary history of the Paraná Basin (Linol et al 2015). Excellent outcrops recording the events and associated life may be found throughout the interior of São Paulo state.…”

The Inventory of Geological Heritage of the State of São Paulo, Brazil: Methodological Basis, Results and Perspectives

An inventory of geological sites based on solid and clear criteria is a first step for any geoconservation strategy. This paper describes the method used in the geoheritage inventory of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and presents its main results. This inventory developed by the geoscientific community aimed to identify geosites with scientific value in the whole state, using a systematic approach. All 142 geosites representative of 11 geological frameworks were characterised and quantitatively evaluated according to their scientific value and risk of degradation, in order to establish priorities for their future management. An online database of the inventory is under construction, which will be available to be easily consulted and updated by the geoscientific community. All data were made available to the State Geological Institute as the backbone for the implementation of a future state geoconservation strategy.

“…A correlação entre as formações Guará e Botucatu com a seção mesozoica da bacia do Congo (Huab, Namíbia), através das formações Stanleyville e Dekese (Linol et al, 2015), sugere que as unidades do Arenito Pedreira podem corresponder ao Krone Member, considerado com base no seu conteúdo fossilífero, como Jurássico Superior (Wanke et al, 2000;Linol et al, 2015).…”

Análise petrográfica e proveniência do Arenito Pedreira, Jurássico Superior da Bacia do Paraná, sul do Brasil

Na região sudeste da Bacia do Paraná, ocorre uma unidade informalmente denominada de Arenito Pedreira. Para definir as relações estratigráficas e caracterizar esta unidade foram avaliados dois furos de sondagem e selecionadas amostras representativas para análise petrográfica e contagem modal dos constituintes para definição da proveniência. O Arenito Pedreira está depositado entre a Formação Botucatu, por desconformidade sobreposta, e a Formação Rio do Rastro, com a qual tem contato erosivo. A unidade é composta por uma sucessão de ciclos granodecrescentes constituídos por arenitos conglomeráticos, conglomerados arenosos, arenitos com estratificação cruzada tangencial e cruzada de baixo ângulo, arenitos com marcas de ondas e pelitos laminados, respectivamente. Os arenitos são classificados como arcóseos líticos e arcóseos, tem seleção média, elevados em grãos de feldspatos e quartzo. As feições diagenéticas caracterizam condições de eodiagênese e mesodiagênese, com feições de ambientes de clima continental seco. A análise da proveniência aponta para fontes associadas a arco magmático dissecado. Os litoclastos descritos são semelhantes às rochas encontradas nas unidades do Cinturão Dom Feliciano situadas mais ao sul, no terreno Tijucas e no Batólito Pelotas. Estas informações sugerem uma área fonte próxima e permitem admitir que o soerguimento do Arco de Rio Grande de direção NW-SE, seja responsável pelo fornecimento de sedimentos para a constituição do Arenito Pedreira
