During the Devonian, much of what is now the Brazilian territory was covered by seas and brachiopods were one of the most abundant phyla in these regions. The objective of this paper was to survey the state of the art of research on Devonian brachiopods found in the Paraná, Parecis, Amazonas, Parnaíba and Jatobá basins. To this end, a broad survey was carried out by reading articles, dissertations, theses, and abstracts in scientific events available both digitally and in print. The first Devonian brachiopods recorded in Brazil were in the Amazon Basin in the nineteenth century, while the Paraná Basin has the largest volume of taxonomic studies. However, in both basins there is still a need to review many taxa. In the Parnaíba Basin there is a notable lack of taxonomic descriptions of inarticulate brachiopods. Finally, studies on brachiopods in the Parecis and Jatobá Basins are extremely scarce, representing areas with great potential for new discoveries. The paleobiogeographic considerations made here are limited due to the need to review certain taxa, as mentioned above. Nevertheless, it is expected that this paper will serve as a basis for future taxonomic work and, consequently, the refinement of paleobiogeographic and paleoenvironmental inferences in the basins analyzed here.

The present paper analyzes the studies about fossil echinoids from the Jandaíra Formation, Upper Cretaceous, Potiguar Basin, Northeastern Brazil, with the purpose of showing the current knowledge about the species of the geological unit. The bibliography was obtained by searching websites such as Scholar Google, Memória da Biblioteca Nacional, Biodiversity Heritage Library, and Periódicos Capes. Furthermore, we contacted several researchers in the area of study, looking for access to any missing bibliography. We surveyed 32 studies, including monographs, dissertations, abstracts, papers in scientific journals, and book chapters. A timeline was produced for each species. We concluded that are fourteen valid species for the formation: Petalobrissus lehugeurae Alves; Petalobrissus setifensis Cotteau; Petalobrissus cubensis Weisbord; Mecaster texanus Roemer; Mecaster fourneli Agassiz & Desor; Hemiaster cearensis Brito; Hemiaster catandubensis Maury; Mecaster sp.; Rosadosoma riograndensis (Maury); Phymosoma major Coquand; Goniopygus durandi Perón & Gauthier; Coenholectypus upanemensis Beurlenou, Coenholectypus serialis sp.?; Phymosoma sp.; and Pygorhynchus sp.?. A considerable diversity. However, apart from taxonomy, few studies address other subjects such as paleoecology, taphonomy, biogeography, and stratigraphy. The observations raised, help to understand the taxonomic history of the echinoid species. Accordingly, they might indicate the direction of future studies about echinoids of the Jandaíra Formation.

The ANM has its responsibility until the moment of extraction and IPHAN only if the paleontological heritage is listed. The absence of an understanding of what is considered paleontological heritage, and of a specific law designating a competent body as responsible for the paleontological heritage, hinders protection and inspection.

Among the invertebrate groups, the phylum Porifera, recognized as one of the earliest-branching of metazoan kingdom, is rarely recovered and studied. Beyond the taphonomic biases, one of the reasons for the scant occurrence may be related to lack of interest and inability to recognize the organisms. Thus, aiming to ratify the poriferan presence in time and space on the Brazilian rocks, here we present a review.

The Cerro Chato outcrop, Dom Pedrito municipality, Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), represents an important fossil site for the understanding of the environmental changes that occurred throughout the end of the Paleozoic, culminating in the largest extinction event recorded thus far. The sedimentary beds of the Cerro Chato outcrop yield a unique fossil content, documenting a rich association of plants and fish remains. The taphoflora preserved in the outcrop documents an important evolutionary stage of the flora that inhabited lacustrine and lagoon environments during the continentalization of Paraná Basin depositional systems. Here we address the rediscovery of this important fossil site, whose geographic location was unknown for decades, preventing scientific research and the duly preservation of the outcrop. In this sense, the Cerro Chato outcrop is re-introduced to the scientific community and general public through revealing its precise location, its geological context and the discovery of completely new fossiliferous levels.

This paper presents a curious case of an Antarctic Devonian formation whose name is a tribute to Wyatt Earp, an illustrious character from the American Western. The story began with the American explorer Lincoln Ellsworth, who was a fan of Wyatt Earp and named one of the boats used by him during his expedition to Antarctica after his hero. Later, the name of the boat served as an inspiration to baptize a mount in Antarctica and its name served as a reference to name the Devonian age formation that outcrops in the region of that mount. Wyatt Earp died about four years before Ellworth’s explorations to Antarctica began, and he certainly never imagined that he would become immortalized with the name of a geographic point and a stratigraphic unit as far away as the South Pole.
