NASA has considered the fossil record as important evidence of extraterrestrial life, to be investigated on planets like Mars. In this context, technical and conceptual updates in paleobiology, engineering and applied physics have shown direct implications not only for understanding the limits of Earth's biosphere, but also for planning missions aimed at detecting habitability contexts on…
Mesosauridae is one of the most antient amniote families secondarily adapted to the aquatic life mode that inhabited the Gondwana supercontinent during the Permian. Their remains are found in correlated strata from Africa and in the South American that, in Brazil, correspond to the Irati Formation. The genus Mesosaurus is mainly found in dark shales, which characterizes deep, poorly oxyge…
Geological changes, such as tectonic reconfigurations and large glaciations, marked profound changes in the evolution of the biosphere at the Ediacaran/Cambrian boundary (ca. 541 Ma.). Ecological feedback may have contributed to the origin of animals capable of synthesizing hard skeletons or actively exploiting the substrate, which has resulted in biological diversification and radiation.…
The mineralogical characteristics of tegument can influence differential preservation processes among organisms (e.g. dissolution and concretization). In this context, stand out the chitin-phosphatic shells of orbiculoid brachiopods, fossil group that also composed the Malvinokaffric Relm. These fossils are usually preserved in phosphatic concretions in Devonian sediments of the Paraná Ba…

Biomineralization among metazoans is one of the most successful events of the Phanerozoic. However, its roots are even older. Animals with mineralized skeletons appeared around 551 Ma, in the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition. The drivers of biomineralization, as well as its impacts on ecology, environment, and biogeochemical cycles have been a matter of debate for the last decades. Despite i…
Exceptional preservation is a rare process in the fossil record. Even less common is the preservation of soft parts. Nevertheless, reports of highly preserved soft tissues associated with aluminosilicates are increasing. Despite the expanding interest in this topic, there is a lack of knowledge and comprehension about the mechanisms behind clay mineralization of fossils. In fact, the impo…
