| Hanayama Farm, Tatuí | Shikama T., Ozaki H. (1966) | Passa Dois - Irati - Assistencia | "Irati Formation (?); lower Permian." (Shikama & Ozaki, 1966). More recent publications confirm this stratigraphic assignment (e.g., Sedor & Ferigolo, 2001, Acta Biol. Par., Curitiba 30). The lithology described by Shikama & Ozaki (1966) suggests that the fossil comes from the Assistência Member of the Irati Fm. (see Santos et al., 2009, J. S. Am. Earth Sci., Article in Press, doi:10.1016/j.jsames.2008.12.002). In a quite recent publication it is stated that the Irati Formation is Artinskian | "limestone" | 290.1 - 279.3 Ma Permian |
