“…The diversity of the Lontras Shale includes: palynomorphs (e.g., Dino & Rösler, 2001;Holz et al, 2008); wood fragments (e.g., Gnaedinger et al, 2012;Urban et al, 2012); ichnofossils (e.g., Balistieri et al, 2002); exceptionally preserved invertebrates such as complete sponges, scolecodonts, brachiopods, bivalves, crustaceans, and insects (e.g., Ruedemann, 1929;Oliveira, 1930;Pinto & Sedor, 2000;Adami-Rodrigues et al, 2011;Mouro et al, 2011Mouro et al, , 2014Mouro et al, , 2016Mouro et al, , 2017Mouro et al, , 2020Ricetti et al, 2012Ricetti et al, , 2016Simões et al, 2012) and vertebrates mostly represented by actinopterygians, but also sarcopterygians, conodonts and chondrichthyans. The actinopterygian fauna includes Santosichthys mafrensis Malabarba, 1988, Roslerichthys riomafrensis Hamel, 2005, Irajapintoseidon uruguayensis Beltan, 1975, Daphnaechelus sp., as well the actinopterygian fishes reported by Richter (1991Richter ( , 2004 and Figueroa et al (2018).…”
