The emergence and evolution of the first skeletonized animals has been one of the main focuses of geologic and paleontological research in the last decades. Distinct research groups has been dedicated to the analysis of the rare fossil occurrences in which are preserved the remains of animals with skeletons that lived on our planet 550m ago. Despite some recent studies in South America, r…
Following important findings in the last decade, the knowledge of the Ediacaran Fauna of the Gondwana supercontinent has substantially increased. Remarkable fossiliferous occurrences of the first Edicaran Skeletonized metazoans (Nama Assemblage, 550-541 Ma), were recorded in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, driving new studies on taxonomy, taphonomy and paleoecology of those assem…
The transition from the Ediacaran Period to the Cambrian is characterized by profound changes in terrestrial ecosystems, such as disturbances in the carbon and sulfur cycles due to the redox conditions of the oceans, allied to the appearance of the first animals with skeletons and the intense bioturbation of the ocean substrate. The definition of the paleoenvironmental conditions of oxyge…
The Cariri and Tacaratu formations are part of the Paleozoic basal units of the Araripe and Jatobá/Tucano Norte, and are historically interpreted as distant correlates of the Ipu Formation sediments (Parnaíba Basin). The Paleozoic lower units of the Brazilian cratonic basins are very important to understand and interpret initial sedimentation ages, paleogeography and depositional styles d…
The transition from the end of the Ediacaran period to the Cambrian is characterized by profound changes in terrestrial ecosystems, whether due to bioevolutionary, climatic or geochemical issues, such as changes in the configuration of the marine substrate and in the chemistry of the oceans, as well as by the emergence of the first animals with complex habits and apparent replacement of l…
Microbialites are sedimentary deposits of the carbonate formed by the action of benthic microbiota and occur as distinct forms depending of the environment parameters as bathymetry, hydrodynamic conditions or even, the type of bacterial community. The study of these sedimentary deposits is fundamental for the understanding of the sedimentary and environmental dynamics of the present and p…

The Cariri and Tacaratu formations are part of the Early Paleozoic basal units of the Araripe and Jatobá/Tucano Norte, and are historically interpreted as distant correlates of the Ipu Formation sediments (Parnaíba Basin). The Paleozoic lower units of the Brazilian cratonic basins are key units to understand and interpret initial sedimentation ages, paleogeography and depositional styles …
The origin of intracratonic basins is currently one of the most prolific topics in the geologic sciences, constituting a challenge in itself. The complexity of this theme, added to the necessity of an integrated approach based in a multi-proxy analysis, places this study on the frontier of modern science. The almost complete lack of integrative studies focused in sedimentological, stratig…
The particular mineral association containing barite, apatite and aragonite from the base of the Sete Lagoas Formation (SLF), central São Francisco craton (Brazil), provides a valuable information about the chemical evolution of the marine water during the end of the Neoproterozoic. The occurrence of these proxy minerals for marine sulfate in the lower and middle part of the unit encourag…
