“…The Pirabas Formation (Maury, 1925), which is of early Miocene, Aquitanian to early Burdigalian, N4 to N5 to middle Miocene, Langhian N8-N9 plankton foraminiferal biozones (Blow, 1969) (Aguilera et al, 2020a, b and references therein), consists of carbonate to mixed siliciclastic-carbonate deposits associated to shallow-water coastal settings (grainstone and consolidated packstone, stratified wackestone to packstone, and laminated mudstone) (Rossetti et al, 2013 and references therein). In addition, littoral facies (shoreface/foreshore), marginal lagoons, restricted platform environments (gray to olive mudstone and conglomeratic sandstone), and mangrove estuarine lagoons (dark mudstone, massive or laminated) have been recorded (Lima et al, 2020a, b). A diverse fossil fauna that is rich in microfossils (foraminifera, ostracodes) and macrofossils (mollusks, bryozoans, corals, echinoderms, decapods, fishes, cetaceans, and sirenids has been described (Aguilera et al, 2020a, b; Lima et al, 2020a, b).…”

The spider crabs Willinachoides santanai n. gen. n. sp. from the early-middle Miocene of north Brazil and Paradasygyius rodriguezi n. sp. from the late Miocene of Venezuela are described and illustrated. Additionally, Eoinachoides senni Van Straelen, 1933, from the late Oligocene–early Miocene of Venezuela, is redescribed based on photographs of the holotype, and the diagnosis of Eoinachoides latispinosus Carriol, Muizon, and Secretan, 1987, from the late Miocene of Peru, is emended also on the basis of photographs of the holotype. The past distribution points to a Tethyan background for the current amphi-American Inachoididae, with the oldest fossil species known from the early Eocene Tethyan regions (Pakistan and Italy), and from the late Eocene–late Pliocene of the Americas. The high number of monotypic genera in Inachoididae could be the result of rapid dispersion followed by diversification during the Neogene of the tropical America, facilitated by global and regional events (e.g., eustatic sea level changes, the Mi-1 Oligocene-Miocene boundary global cooling, the global warming period of the Middle Miocene Climate maximum, closure of the Panama Isthmus, and marine incursions into the Amazon Basin). The shoaling and final closure of the Central American Seaway are thought to have critically affected the evolution of the inachoidids and shaped their current distribution patterns.

“…have been recorded in France and Austria (Mü ller, 1998;Cluzaud et al, 2014;Jagtet et al, 2015). Recently, Lima et al (2020) also recorded the first neotropical evidence of early and middle Miocene alpheids based on claw fingertips from the Pirabas Formation (Fm), Brazil. The early-middle Miocene (Burdigalian-Serravallian) records of alpheids (based only on claw fingertips) are quite common in different parts of Europe, viz., Austria, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia, with only a single fossil record, to date, from the upper Miocene (Tortonian) of France (Hyžný et al, 2017;Fig.…”

The oldest Asian record of alpheid shrimps, assigned to genus Alpheus, based on snapping claw fingertips from the Miocene Khari Nadi Formation in the Kutch Basin, western India reported herein, extends the fossil record of the family Alpheidae from Asia by ∼22 million years. An early Miocene (Aquitanian) age is estimated based on the associated assemblage of calcareous nannofossils, Sphenolithus disbelemnos, Cyclicargolithus floridanus, and Reticulofenestra haqii. The co‐occurring microbiota includes bony fish otolith remains, identified as “genus Gobiidarum”, isolated teeth of Dasyatis rays, Sphyrna sharks, and teleosts, ctenoid and placoid scales, ostracods, belonging to the genera Paractinocythereis, Alocopocythere, Ruggieria, Aglaiocypris, Bairdoppilata, and echinoid spines. Taken together, the microfossil assemblage and data from chemical analyses using Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, X‐Ray Diffraction and Wavelength Dispersive X‐Ray Fluorescence of host and associated lithologies suggests prevalence of a shallow (neritic) to coastal marine (intertidal) depositional paleoenvironment. The present investigation also provides the oldest fossil evidence on the co‐occurrence of Alpheus and gobiids (based on otoliths) that strongly advocates that the mutualistic association between these animal groups had developed by the Aquitanian.
