Macroinvertebrates in this formation are primarily represented by mollusks, echinoids, and decapod crustaceans. Mollusk shells are abundant in certain stratigraphic intervals, forming coquinas or shell pavements. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the taxonomy of certain groups, comprehensive taxonomic studies are lacking for almost the entire bivalve fauna. Therefore, a detailed taxonomic analysis is presented here. The described bivalves include four new genera (<em>Araripenomia</em>, <em>Ciceromya</em>, <em>Inversatella</em>, <em>Australoeocallista</em>), and six new species (<em>Araripenomia infirma</em>, <em>Inversatella cearensis</em>, <em>Ciceromya edentulosa</em>, <em>Australoeocallista juazeiroi</em>, <em>Legumen kaririense</em>, and <em>Corbulomima delicata</em>), in addition to <em>Musculus maroimensis</em>, <em>Crassatella maroimensis</em>, “<em>Myrtea</em>” sp. and “<em>Tellina</em>” sp. This bivalve fauna mainly consists of cosmopolitan and endemic brackish/marine genera, with Tethyan affinities. The fauna is not homogeneously distributed in the sedimentary succession of the Romualdo Formation, but is constrained to the third order highstand systems tract. Bivalves recorded from muddy facies are strongly dominated by infaunal and semi-infaunal suspension feeders. Assemblages of the sand-dominated facies, with dense shell accumulations of semi-infaunal to epifaunal byssate and infaunal suspension feeders, were formed under shallow, higher energy conditions. Despite the degree of generic endemicity, the mytilids, anomiids, crassateliids, astartids, tellinids, and corbulids are related to the bivalve fauna of the Early Cretaceous Riachuelo Formation of the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, as previously demonstrated for the bakevelliids and echinoids.

Thin sections were prepared to describe the microstructures of the bone tissue and the fossilization processes involved in preserving the specimen. An elemental analysis was also performed to verify the chemical composition of the fossil and rock matrix.

The rib probably belonged to a saurischian dinosaur because of its plank shape and elliptical cross-section. Hypotheses regarding taphonomic processes were inferred. An extended period of subaerial exposure, followed by high-energy transport, was interpreted due to extensive fractures and signs of abrasion on the outer surface of the bone. Pyrite pseudomorphs (framboids) indicate that the bone was deposited in a reductive environment. After burial, the rapid precipitation of calcite and alkaline stability allowed the preservation of apatite during the recrystallization phase. The manganese hydroxides were deposited on apatite crystals during early diagenesis. We concluded that the fossil rib presented a common taphonomic bias identified among vertebrate fossils of the Bauru Group, which is associated with the exposure of the bones to arid and semiarid climates, their transport into the depositional environments and pedogenetic influence during fossil diagenesis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55207,"journal":{"name":"Cretaceous Research","volume":"160 ","pages":"Article 105899"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140550878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
