Late Emsian/Eifelian Loc. 22 of Melo: Castelo do Piaui region | Melo J. H. G. (1988) | Pimenteira | Collection not explicitly said to come from Pimenteira Fmn., but this seems rather clear from stratigraphic and geographic context. "Although the age of the [Pimenteira Fm.] is probably restricted to the Middle Devonian along the eastern outcrop belt [of which this locality is a part] its full range is Emsian through Famennian in the subsurface of central portions of the basin." | sandstone | 407.6 - 387.7 Ma Devonian |
