Size of fossils:microfossils
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods:selective quarrying,chemical,peroxide,field collection,survey of museum collection
Rock censused:20 g
Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Collection method comments: Twenty-seven outcrop samples were studied, and approximately 20 g of dried rock was crushed and soaked in 200 mL of a hydrogen peroxide solution (H2O2) for 24 h, at a concentration of 35%. Residues were then washed and divided into grain fractions 63, 180 and 250 lm and dried at 60°C. All ostracods were hand-picked under a stereo microscope from each size fraction. Selected specimens were imaged in a EVO MA15 Zeiss scanning electron microscope at the Instituto Tecnologico de Micropaleontologia (itt Fossil) of the Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, Brazil.
