“…These mixed microfacies, and particularly calcisiltites in the depositional context of the Passa Dois Group, can be accumulated in a wide spectrum of marginal marine paleoenvironments (e.g., lagoons, estuaries, deltas). It is reflected in rich fossil assemblages, which include, for instance, fishes (e.g., Würdig-Maciel, 1975), ostracods (Sohn & Rocha-Campos, 1990;Bergue et al, 2020), temnospondyls (e.g., Dias et al, 2020), conchostraceans (e.g., Ferreira-Oliveira & Rohn, 2010, bivalvia (e.g., Simões et al, 2017) and palynomorphs (e.g., Mori & Souza, 2012).…”
