Abstract
New sauropodomorph and cynodont remains from the Late Triassic Sacisaurus site in southern Brazil and its stratigraphic position in the Norian Caturrita Formation
Highlights
Sacisaurus agudoensis is the only silesaurid known from the Triassic beds of the Santa Maria Supersequence and the correlation of its type locality to the other Triassic deposits of south Brazil has always been controversial
In an attempt to improve this, a handful of dinosaur and cynodont remains found associated to S. agudoensis are here described and compared
The cynodonts recovered based on isolated teeth include a brasilodontid and a Riograndia-like form. This assemblage is consistent with a Norian age, as is suggested by local stratigraphic correlation, which positions the site in the Caturrita Formation
Summary
Bittencourt, Átila A.S. Da Rosa, Agustín G. Martinelli, Ana Maria Ribeiro, Jorge Ferigolo, and Max C. Sacisaurus agudoensis is the only silesaurid known from the Triassic beds of the Santa Maria Supersequence and the correlation of its type locality to the other Triassic deposits of south Brazil has always been controversial.
