The Itaituba Formation comprises part of the marine section of the Tapajós Group in the Amazonas Basin.

In this work, we present new records of crinoids in the Itaituba Formation in the Caltarém quarry, north platform of the Amazonas Basin. There are described and taxonomically identified, two genera of crinoids, through the study of columnals and pluricolumnals, in addition to the interpretation of the depositional environment through the analysis of carbonate microfacies. The identified specimens correspond to the species Cyclocaudex aff. typicus Moore & Jeffords, and to the genus Pentaridica Moore & Jeffords (first record in the Itaituba Formation). The textural, compositional, and paleontological analysis suggests four standard microfacies MPF 09, 10, 16, 23) and two faciological zones (ZF 7 E 8). The bioturbated bioclastic wackestones (MFP 09) and bioclastic wackestones/packstones (MFP 10) microfacies, with fossils of brachiopods, crinoids, echinoids, miliolid and fusulinid foraminifera, trilobites, and bryozoans, characterize an interior shelf environment, with a connection to an open marine circulation (ZF 7). The peloidal wackestones (MFP 16) and mudstones (MFP 23) microfacies, with a fossiliferous assemblage limited to brachiopods, echinoids and miliolid foraminifera, characterize a restricted lagoon environment (ZF 8).

In Pleistocene deposits of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, an important set of postcranial specimens was collected, belonging to Mylodontidae. They were morphologically and morphometrically analyzed, allowing us to observe some diagnostic characters such as the humeral entepicondylar foramen and crests, shape of the radial shaft, angle of distal articulation of the tibia, as well as the angle of proximal articulation of the astragalus. The material was also compared with specimens from other South American localities. Most of the remains were assigned to Glossotherium robustum and Lestodon armatus.

The monophyly of Xenarthra is supported by morphological and molecular characters, ancient DNA and collagen. Phylogenetic work also supports the idea of a common ancestor for the Cingulata; Glyptodontidae is considered a natural group too; this also occurs with the genus Panochthus, which includes eight species. The phylogenetic relationships of a peculiar specimen UATF-V s/n, assigned to Panochthus sp. were examined through a cladistic analysis carried out exclusively with characters from the dorsal carapace. A maximum parsimony tree with L = 49, CI = 0.84 and IR = 0.74 was obtained through the analysis of a matrix of 14 taxa and 29 characters. The cladogram comprises two large groups: node A includes Nopachtus coagmentatus, N. cabrerai, Propanochthus bullifer, Phlyctaenopyga ameghini; and node B contains Glyptodon reticulatus, Hoplophorus euphractus, Neosclerocalyptus ornatus, Panochthus intermedius, P. subintermedius, P. tuberculatus, P. greslebini, P. hipsilis and UATF-V s/n. The specimen UATF-V s/n is positioned as the sister taxon of all Panochthus spp., having most plesiomorphic characters than other species of the genus. Glyptodon reticulatus appears as the sister group of Panochthus, presenting osteoderms of the mid-dorsal region with a reticular pattern. The characteristic of these osteoderms without a central figure is shared with G. reticulatus and Neuryurus trabeculatus; this feature is interpreted as an evolutionary convergence. The exclusive feature of Panochthus is that the mid-dorsal region and the anterior part of the mid-lateral region of the dorsal carapace are formed by ornate osteoderms following a reticular pattern.

Since then, much work has been done encompassing their taphonomy, systematics, and paleobiology. However, until now the studies have relied on conulariids from the eastern border area of the basin. Therefore, there was a lack of information on the conulariids of the northwestern border area of the Paraná Basin, particularly from the Mato Grosso do Sul, for which there are no previous descriptions of these fossils. The present analysis of specimens from the Ponta Grossa Formation in Mato Grosso do Sul revealed the presence of Conularia quichua, Paraconularia africana, P. ulrichana, and Reticulaconularia caetensis sp. nov. Therefore, the diversity of the conulariid fauna recorded from the northwest border area of the basin is greater than that of the eastern border area, where the genus Reticulaconularia has not yet been found, and the presence of Paraconularia ulrichana still needs confirmation. Furthermore, our data suggest that the Paraná Basin had narrow connections with the Devonian seas of Bolivia, at least during sea-level rise, as indicated by the shared benthic marine fauna.

These associations are characterized by marker fossils and localized from the inner ramp to the proximal outer ramp depositional environments. Their biostratigraphic range is assigned to the middle Cuisian to early Lutetian. In addition, three new agglutinated conical foraminiferal species: Daviesiconus mahallatensis sp. nov., Barattolites arghadehensis sp. nov., and Coleiconus minimus sp. nov. are described and figured for the first time from the lower Eocene shallow-water limestone in the studied area. These new species have common characteristics such as eccentric conical test with a low number of comparably coiled chambers in the early stage and uniserial chambers in the adult stage, but they differ in size, the form of test, and radial subepidermal partitions (beams, intercalary beams, and rafters).
