“…Accordingly, the Pirambóia Formation differs from the sandstones of the (superposed) Botucatu Formation by being a predominantly fluvial facies association ( Soares, 1975 ), although according to Caetano-Chang (1997) this is subordinate to the eolian facies. In São Paulo and Goiás states, the Pirambóia Formation overlies the Permian Passa Dois Group (i.e., Teresina, Rio do Rasto and Corumbataí formations), and its lower boundary is marked by a debrite level, informally named the “Porangaba Bed” ( Matos, 1995 ; Matos & Coimbra, 1997 ). This bed was related to a tsunami deposit generated after the Araguainha impact event and a coherent population of detrital zircons was dated in 253.2 ± 3.0 Ma (Changhsingian, late Permian), suggesting that the overlying Pirambóia Formation is younger than this age ( Tohver et al, 2018 ).…”
