Teixeira Soares (Carboniferous to of Brazil)

Also known as PGAP 13196

Where: Parana, Brazil (25.3° S, 50.4° W: paleocoordinates 52.3° S, 37.7° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: Campo Mourão Formation (Itarare Group), Moscovian to Moscovian (315.2 - 298.9 Ma)

• See 6 in Christiano-de-Souza, I and Ricardi-Branco. 2015. ; "the fossil plants of the Itararé Group would be related to the Campo Mourão Formation, especially to siltstones and rare coal beds (such as Monte Mor, Itapeva, and Cerquilho), which are conventionally related to interglacial and glacier contraction periods."

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported

• Periglacial - interglacial

Size class: macrofossils

• According to Neto (2005), the identification of the Hastimima is unlkiely, given the lack of diagnosic elements

Preservation: mold/impression

Collection methods: Correlation from Langford, 1992. Use list of Rosler 1976 from this area (more complete)
