FOSSILS AND STRATA is an internationally distributed series of

monographs and memoirs in palaeontology and stratigraphy. It is
issued in Numbers with individual pagination, listed cumulatively on
the back of each cover; the arrangement of the numbers in volumes
for binding is left to the individual subscriber's discretion.
FOSSILS AND STRATA forms part of the same structured publi
shing programme as the journals BO RE AS, LE THAlA, and LI
THOS. These three journals are fully international and accept
papers within their respective sectors of science without national

limitations or preferences. Fossils and" Strata, however, is an outlet for

more comprehensive systematic and regional descriptions dealing
with areas in the fi ve countries of Norden, or written by palaeontolo
gists and stratigraphers from these countries. Contributions by
colleagues in other countries may also be included as far as this
series is deemed to be the appropriate medium with regard to
distribution and availability . Articles can normally be accepted only
if they are heavily subsidized by the national Research Council in
their country of origin or by other funds. All income is re-invested in
forthcoming numbers of the series.
M anuscripts intended for typographical composition should con
form with the Instructions on page 3 of this cover, which are
essentially the same as for Boreas, Letkaia, and LitilOs. Ylanuscripts to
be printed from camera-ready typescript are also accepted but
necessitate contacts with the editor at the earliest stage of manusc
ript planning.
Articles in English, German, and French are accepted; the use of
the English language is preferred. A eard abstraet in English should
always be provided, and non-English articles should always be
provided with English versions of the figure captions. Abstracts or
summaries in one or more additional languages may be added.
Many regional or systematic descriptions and revisions contain a
nucleus of results which are of immediate and general interest in
international palaeontology and stratigraphy. Tt is expected that
authors of such papers will to some extent duplicate their publica
tion in the form of an article for a journal, in the first place Letkaia or

SUBSCRIPTION TO LE THAlA 1983

LE THAlA was launched inJanuary 1968 with the motto " Towards
a new st yle in palaeontological publishing" . Our attitude as to
stratigraphy is, of course, the same. This means that we take
advantage of structural and technical improvements in modern
geological and biological publishing. First/y, there is a need to
distinguish satisfactorily between international and local problems
and between discussion of general interest and " routine" descrip
tions. Secondly, suitable application of modern printing techniques
on modern paper allows us to print articles with high-quality figures
in their proper place in the article instead of plates.
LE THAlA thus aims to include articles on primary research and
review topics as well as brief descriptive material which has news
character or concerns key forms in systematics. The material should
be of international interest in palaeontology or in any branch of
stratigraphy which has a bearing on the occurrence or environmen
tal conditions of fossils. Papers on the general problems and
methodology in stratigraphy, even if extensively dealing with non
biotic aspects, are also accepted. In accordance with the style of LE
THAIA, well constructed figures, which may replace lengthy verbal

A geological outline and a biostratigraphical framework are prcsented for the Ccnomanian
Coniacian of Sergipe, as the basis for taxonomic work and development of a detailed
biostratigraphy. A rich macrofauna of ammonites, bivalves, gastropods and echinoids was
collected from 604 localities, which are named and described. The sequence is subdivided into
eight units, using ammonite assemblages easily recognizablc in the licld, and plotted on a
1:100 000 locality map. Where ammonites are laeking, microfacies analysis, inoceramids or
other bivalves complement the framework . The Cenomanian-Coniacian sedimentation in the
Sergipe Basin, albeit inlluenced by eustatic sea-leve! changes, was largcly tectonically control
led and irregular, as is evident from numerous facies variations and discontinuities. The
Estancia area in southern Sergipe was more stable and apparently became transgressed only
by the global, late Cenomanian eustatic rise. The boundary between the Cenomanian
Coniacian Cotinguiba Formation and the underlying Riachuelo Formation occurs at varying
stratigraphical leve1s and appears cverywhere to be unconformable . An annotated bibliogra

Introduction
In 1 969- 1 970, Richard A. Reyment ( Paleontologiska institu
tionen, Uppsala universitet) and Eric A. Tait ( University of
Aberdeen) carried out three months of field studies in north
eastern Brazil as part of a research proj ect aimed at investi
gating the development of the South Atlantic Ocean during
the Cretaceous . The results were published in 1 9 7 1 and 1 9 7 2
( e . g . , Reyment & Tait 1 9 7 2a) . As an extension of this pro
j ect and with the main obj ect of refining the biostratigraphy
of the marine middle C retaceous of the South Atlantic, I
spent ten months (October 1 9 7 1 -May 1 97 2 and January
February 1 9 7 7 ) in the Sergipe Basin in northeastern Brazil
studying in detail the exposed C enomanian-Coniacian se
quence .
The material collected in Sergipe comprises nearly 1 3 000
macrofossils and lithological samples from 604 localities .
There are approximately 6 000 ammonites (from 330 Iocal
ities ) , 3 500 bivalves, 1 500 gastropods, 500 echinoids and
500 other fossils which include fish remains, crustaceans,
nautiloids and a single brachiopod.
I present here a stratigraphical framework with gross
subdivision of the C enomanian-Coniacian sequence of Ser
gipe. The subdivision is based on easily recognizable associ
ations of ammonites , the key fossils of the original Creta
ceous biostratigraphy. The material is intended as the basis
for subsequent taxonomic and biostratigraphical work. Syn
opses from the study were given by Reyment et al. ( 1 9 76)
and Bengtson ( 1 979, 1 980a, 1 980b) . This paper, in addition
to the stratigraphical data, contains a review of previous
work on the Cenomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe, including
an annotated bibliography . Appendices contain descriptions
of localities and a biostratigraphical locality index and map.
Detailed study of the marine C retaceous of Sergipe is of
great significance for the work being carried out internation
ally, under the auspices of the IUGS Subcommission on
C retaceous Stratigraphy, aimed at producing well-defined
chronostratigraphical zonation. The Sergipe sequences are
of particular importance for defining the C enomanian-Tur
onian boundary; the succession across this interval appears
suitable for establishing detailed biozonation.
It is also apparent that there is increasing demand for
detailed bios tratigraphical data from the western South At
lantic. These data are critical for testing hypotheses on the
development of the South Atlantic, based on geophysics,
deep-sea drilling and scattered palaeontological evidence
from the marginal basins .
Systematic description of ammonites collected in Sergipe
is in progress , and it is intended to publish this in "stratigra-
phical order " . A stratigraphical and environmental study

based on microfacies analyses (with Pierre-Yves Berthou ,
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris) is near completion.
The inoceramid fauna is being described by Erle G . Kauff
man ( University of Colorado, Boulder) and the middle
C enomanian-Iower Coniacian non-inoceramid bivalves and
gastropods by Jean Philippe Lefranc ( U niversite des Sci
ences et Techniques du Languedoc, Montpellier) . The stud
ies of other groups are at various stages, and results will
appear in due course.
A cknowledgements. - Richard A . Reyment ( Paleontologiska institu
tionen, Uppsala universitet) gave the impetus for this project in

1969 and has since then supported my work in every way possible.
My wife, Suzana Bengtson, participated in the main field-work of
197 1-1972 . Petroleo Brasileiro S. A. ( Petrobras) generously allowed
access to internal reports, maps and fossil collections. During the
complementary field-work in 197 7 , Petrobras placed a vehicie and a
field assistant at my disposal, and their geologist Francisco Celso
Ponte gave his time for two weeks. Diogenes de Almeida Campos
( Departamento Nacional da Produao Mineral, Rio de Janeiro) and
Maria Helena Ribeiro Hessel ( Universidade de Brasilia) partici
pated in most of the field-work in 197 7. Many geologists at Petro
bras in Rio de Janeiro and Aracaju have given valuable advice on
the work; special mention goes to Gerhard Beurlen, Renato Senna
de Carvalho, Luiz Carlos da Silva Freitas, Zen6bio Vieira Matos,
Francisco Celso Ponte, Hannfried Schaller, Ivan A. Sim6es, and
lvaro A. Teixeira. Permisson was granted by Petrobras to publish
selected data from the unpublished topographical maps and internal
reports. During the 197 1-197 2 field season I received generous help
on practical matters from Walter Baptista, Augusto Barreto, and
Elder T. Ferreira ( Aracaju) . E. T. Ferreira also eontributed a
collection of fossils from I taporanga.
The following helped in locating specimens for study and photog
raphy in Brazilian scientific institutions: Dea Regina Bouret Cam
pos, Di6genes de Almeida Campos and Friedrich Sommer (Depar
tamento Nacional da Produao Mineral, Rio de Janeiro) , Calidido
Sim6es Ferreira ( Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro) , Ignacio Ma
chado Brito ( Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) , and Geraldo
da Costa Barros Muniz and Ivan de Medeiros Tinoco ( Universi
dade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife) . D. A. Campos and I. M.
Brito contributed useful information and advice, and provided lit
erature dillicult to obtain; D. A. Campos was also helpful in track
ing down actual dates of publication and straightening out the
orthography of geographical names. Dirce Campos de Morais ( Bib
lioteca Central, Petrobras-SERARJ, Rio de Janeiro) devoted much
time to my literature requests.
The following gave useful suggestions concerning the ammonites
collected: Gordon R. Chancellor ( University Museum, Oxford,
England) , the late Maurice Collignon ( Moirans, France) , Michael
R. Cooper ( National Museum, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) , John Mi
chael Hancock ( K ing' s College, London, England) , William James
Kennedy ( University Museum, Oxford, England) , Tatsuro Matsu
moto ( Kyushu University, Fukuok a, Japan) . Ikuwo Obata ( Nation
al Science Museum, Tokyo, Japan) , Richard A. Reyment ( Uppsala
Peter Bengtson: Cenomanian- Coniacian of Sergipe
universitet, Sweden) , Jost Wiedmann (Universitat Tiibingen, Fed

eral Republic of Germany) , C. William Wright (Seaborough, Dor
set, England) , and Keith Young (University of Texas at Austin,
USA) . Pierre-Yves Berthou (Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Par
is, France) contributed substantially to the biostratigraphical map
through microfacies analyses of the localities. Erle G. Kauffman
(University of Colorado, Boulder, USA) contributed data on the
inoceramids and Jean Philippe Lefranc (Universite des Sciences et
Techniques du Languedoc, Montpellier, France) provided informa
tion on the Cenomanian and Turonian bivalve and gastropod fau
nas. Notes of stratigraphical importance about the echinoids were
given by Alain Bidar (Museum d' Histoire Naturell e, Nice, Francc) .
Among the many Swedish colleagues who have given their time to
discuss matters of relevanee to this work, special mention goes to
Stefan Bengtson and Anders Martinsson (Enheten feir paleobiologi,
Uppsala universitet) .
At Paleontologiska institutionen (Uppsala) , cleaning and devel
oping of the fossil material was done mainly by Suzana Bengtson,
and from 1981 also by Josef Aranki. Dagmar Engstrom drafted the
figures and Gustav Andersson and Tommy Westberg provided
photographic prints. Continuous help from the rest of the staff of
Paleontologiska institutionen is acknowledged, notably from the late
Eva Eklind, Birgit Jansson, Karin Landgren, the late Barry Liden,
Jiirgen Schobel and Eric Sthl.
Maria Helena Ribeiro Hessel (Brasilia) drew the ammonites in
Fig. 40 and Birgit Bengtson (Rockneby, Sweden) provided extraor
dinary secretarial assistance on many occasions.
Drafts of the manuscript were read by Dieigenes de Almeida
Campos, Gordon R. Chancellor, Lesley Cherns (Sveriges geologiska
undersokning, Uppsala) , William James Kennedy, Francisco Celso
Ponte, and Richard A. Reyment. G. R. Chancellor and Lesley
Cherns improved the English. The French and Russian summaries
were provided by Diana Berthou (Paris, France) and Igor N.
Krylov (Geologicheskij institut AN SSSR, Moscow) .
The lield-work in 1971-1972 was planned and prepared for dur
ing a Rotary International Graduate Fellowship (1970) at the Insti
tuto de Geociencias, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul,
Porto Alegre, Brazil. The lield investigations were linanced through
grants from the Swedish N aturai Science Research Council (NFR;
G2320-035 , G2320-069, and R3475-004) , travel grants from Seder
holms utrikes resestipendiefond (1970) , C. F. Liljewalchs resestipendiefond
(1972 and 1976) , and Hkanssons resestipendiefond (1976) , together
with funds for graduate research (l 971) from the University of
Uppsala. The cost of shipping to Uppsala the material collected in
1972 was defrayed by the reservfonden of the University of Uppsala,
and in 1977 by N FR (G3475-007) . The employment of a part-time
technician for developing the fossil material was made possible in
1973 and 1974 through grants from Th. Nordstroms testamentsfond and
Hierta-Retzius forskningsfond of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sci
ences, Lennanders fond of the University of Uppsala, and NFR
(G2 320-05 1 and G2 320-056) . Since July 1975, the employment of
the technician and my own research position have been funded
entirely by N FR (G2 320-064, -069, - 074, and - 100; G3475-101, - 102 ,
and - 103) . Since 1971, material and travel expenses in connection
with the project have been covered through the above mentioned
grants and also specilically by Byrchefen Stenholms stipendiestiftelse
(1973) of the University of Uppsala, Magn. Bergvalls stiftelse (1975 ) ,
and NFR (G3475- 100) .
A major part of the material presented here was included in my
Ph. D. thesis, defended in June 1977 at the University of Uppsala.
Geological synthesis
The Sergipe Basin is the southern half of the Sergipe
Alagoas Basin in northeastern Brazil ( the Nordeste Region, Fig.
I). The onshore part of this basin, which lies entirely within
the two small s tates of Sergipe ( south of the Sao Francisco
River) and Alagoas ( north of the river) , occupies a coastal
belt some 380 km long and 20 to 50 km wide. It is one of
severai late Mesozoic tensional rift basins (sensu Wilson &
FOSSILS AND STRATA 12 (1983 )
Williams 1 979) o f so-called Atlantic type situated along the

western margin of the South Atlantic Ocean ( Fig. I). These
basins were initially form ed as rift valleys by the rupture of
the former African -South American continent. Ponte &
Asmus ( 1 978) and Asmus ( 1 98 1 ) give the most recent,
comprehensive accounts of the geological evolution of the
Brazilian marginal basins. A detailed review with emphasis
on surface geology and palaeontology was given by Brito
( 1 979) . Only the most important features relevant to the
Cenomanian-Coniacian development of Sergipe will be out
lined here, including some new observations.
The C retaceous marginal basins of Brazil fall structurally
and stratigraphically into two groups : (I) the Central Atlan
tic basins, from the Amapa to Potiguar basins, and ( 2 ) the
South Atlantic basins , from the Sergipe-Alagoas to Pelotas
basins ( Fig. I ) . The former group corresponds largely to the
shear zone where the African and South American plates
slid along "equatorial" transform faults during the early
C retaceous . These basins display both tensional and
compressional tectonic structures and contain great thick
nesses of sediments, locally more than 1 0 000 m ( Ponte &
Asmus 1 978) . The stratigraphical sequence is bi parti te, con
sisting of a lower non-marine part of early C retaceous age
and an upper marine part of post-Aptian age. The South
Atlantic marginal basins are characterized by exclusively
tensional faulting and by somewhat lesser sediment thick
nes ses ( maximum thickness of 8 000 m , according to Ponte &
Asmus 1 9 78) . The stratigraphical sequence is tripartite, the
lower non-marine and the upper marine beds being separat
ed by Aptian evaporites .
Between these two regions lies the Pernambuco-Paraiba
Basin ( Fig. I), which lacks most of the non-marine sequence
and the Aptian evaporites . The true marine sequence on
shore is dated as starting in the Santonian, with Albian de
posits present in the deeper parts of the basin (Asmus &
C arvalho 1 9 78: 1 7 , Fig. 3 ) . This suggests that the Per
nambuco- Paraiba Basin was in the area where connexion
between South Ameriea and Africa persisted longes t (aside
from the Rio Grande Rise-Walvis Ridge connexions; see, for
example, Reyment 1 980), and where the Atlantic remained
as a narrow strait long into the late C retaceous .
Meister & Aurich ( 1 97 2 ) summarized the geological evo
lution of the Sergipe Basin, which is the part of the Sergipe
Alagoas Basin where the C enomanian-Coniacian is most
fully developed ( Fig. 2 ) . Comprehensive accounts of the
entire Sergipe-Alagoas Basin were published by Asmus &
Ponte ( 1 97 3 ) and Oj eda & Fugita ( 1 9 76) . Structurally the
Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, including the adj acent continental
margin, forms a half-graben , the counterpart of which is
presurnably in Gabon (e.g. , Wilson & Williams 1 9 79, Fig. I).
The main depositional basin is bounded to the southwest by
the I taporanga Fault ( Fig. 2 ) . South of this fault there is the
" Estancia platform " , which displays a thin cover of marine
C retaceous sediments on Proterozoi c ( ? ) basement. The re
gional dip averages 1 0 - 1 50 to the southeast, so that progres
sively younger rocks crop out towards the coast. The iloor of
the basin is intensely block-faulted ( Oj eda & Fugita 1 9 76,
Fig. 6) . I n Sergipe, normal depth to basement ranges be
tween I and 3 km onshore, while offshore basin depths locally
reach over lO km ( Ponte el al. 1 980:880) .
The stratigraphical sequence (Fig. 3 ) is one of the most

complete among the South Atlantic basins . In latest Jurassic

and early C retaceous times, non-marine sediments ( the
Baixo So Francisco Group) were deposited in a subsiding
rift-valley basin . After the general structural development of
the basin, the first marine incursion to ok place in the Aptian
and is represented by thick evaporitic sequences, which,
together with dominantly non-marine and lagoonal clastic
deposits, make up the Muribeca Formation. As the early
oceanic rift widened, influx of terrigenous material decreased
in relation to carbonate production. The Aptian ( ? ) -Ceno
manian Riachuelo Formation is composed of clastic sedi
ments, limes tones and dolomites; the overlying Ceno-
manian-Santonian Cotinguiba Formation essentially com

prises pure carbonates .
Marine sedimentation during the middle C retaceous was
almost entirely confined to the southern part of the basin
( Oj eda & Fugita 1 9 76, Figs . 1 5- 1 8) . Thus, the Aptian eva
porites occur mainly in Sergipe, and Albian deposits ( Ria
chuelo Formation) are widely distributed in the Sergipe

floor of the basin. As a result there was patchy deposition of

comparatively thin, calcareous sediments, which in some
places contain reworked material and detrital quartz . Local
ly the sediments are dolomitized .
Towards the end of the C enomanian there was a wide
spread transgression which also covered the tectonically
more stable Estancia area in the south . Oj eda & Fugita
( 1 976, Fig. 1 7) suggest there are Albian sediments ( Ria
chuelo Formation) as well in this area, but there is no
palaeontological support for this assumption .
The Turonian in most areas was marked by accelerated
subsidence, giving thick sequences of limes tone (Sapucari
Member) in areas of low terrigenous influx, and calcareous
mudstones (Aracaj u Member) in areas with proportionally
lower carbonate production. Continuing reciprocal move
ments of the block-faulted basin floor contributed to con
spicuous facies changes across short distances, and there are
also numerous discontinuities and intraformational breccia
beds in the sequence. Towards the southeast, i . e . towards
t h e centre o f t h e basin, t h e Cotinguiba Formation grad e s

into t h e terrigenous clastic Piac;:abuc;:u Formation (Asmus
1 98 1 , Fig. 5 ) . On the continental shelf, Cotinguiba sedi
ments (Aracaj u Member) have been found on ly in a restrict
ed area in north-eastern Sergipe ( Oj eda & Fugita 1 9 76, Fig.
1 8 ) . Onshore near the coast, the formation is locally very
thin or absent, e.g., in boreholes I -WSC - I - SE and I -AB- I A
SE ( Richter & Sim6es 1 975, sheet S C . 24-Z-D-I-2 Sao Cris
t6vao; cf. Bandeira 1 97 8, Fig. 1 7) . The limited sequences,
combined with scarcity or absence of typical Turonian fos
sils in boreholes on the continental shelf, led earlier work.ers
to postulate a break in sequence in this part of the basin (see,
for example, Aurich et al. 1 9 72, Fig. 2; Quadros & Gomide
1 97 3 : 34 1 ) . However, offshore there is an unfossiliferous
interval in the basal Piac;:abuc;:u Formation between the
Albian-Cenomanian and Santonian Oose Gomide, Rio de
Janeiro, personal communication, 1 98 2 ) , which probably
corresponds in time to the C otinguiba Formation onshore,

facies in the deeper parts of the basin (cf. Figueiredo &

Morales 1 975:2 1 2 ; Fig. 4 herein) . An alternative or corollary
explanation could be the existence of a ridge parallel to the
coast during the C enomanian-Coniacian ( Reyment et al.
1 9 76:259-260, Fig. 5D) , formed as a result of slower subsi
dence than in more marginal areas. Magnetic-anomaly pat
terns apparently support this hypothesis ( S ummerhayes et
al. 1 976) .
In the C oniacian the sea withdrew, leaving the margins of

the basin exposed until the Santonian-C ampanian. This
regress ion was probably due to seaward tilting of the basin
(Oj eda & Fugita 1 976: 1 53 ) , leading to uplift of the present
onshore parts . Many secondary structures which disturb the
sequences result from these til ting movements in combina
tion with some halokinesis (Oj eda & Fugita 1 9 76: 1 46- 1 47 ) .
The uplifted areas were subjected to erosion , which pro
duced material for the clastic Piar;: a bur;: u Formation. On the
continental shelf, sedimentation was essentially continuous
through the late C retaceous.
After the close of the carbonate-dominated cyde, the
chiefly terrigenous Santonian-C ampanian transgression
also covered the Alagoan part of the basin. This, the Piar;:a
bur;:u depositional cycle, continued until the end of the Mio
cene or even Pliocene (Asmus 1 98 1 , Fig. 5 ) . The presumed
relationships of the middle Cretaceous formations in Sergipe
are shown schematically in Fig. 4. The depositional history of
the Riachuelo and Cotinguiba formations was illustrated by
Bandeira ( 1 978, Fig. 1 9) as a series of figures of depositional
events .
The extensive literature and in part very detailed current
knowledge of the geology of Sergipe reflect the importance of
this area for petroleum production. The Sergipe Basin is the
third most important petroleum province, after the Reconca
vo-Tucano (Bahia) and C ampos basins, and has an esti
mated I I % of the recoverable petroleum reserves of BraziL
Approximately 80 % of the Sergipean oil is trapped in the
Aptian Muribeca Formation ( Ponte et al. 1 980) .

The biostratigraphically mos t important, pu blished original
research on the C enomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe is sum
marized here. Emphasis is placed on surface geology and
stratigraphically useful macrofaunas . Nomenclatorial updat
ing and other significant taxonomic or s tratigraphical re
marks are placed in square brackets . These remarks concern
particularly ammonites, from examination of the collections
of the Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro ( colleetions described
or commented upon by White and G . Beurlen) , Departa
mento Nacional da Produr;: a o Mineral, Rio de Janeiro ( colL
Maury, Duarte, Wanderley and Bender) , Universidade F ede
rai do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro ( colL Magalhaes,

A complete, annotated listing of the fossils reported in the
literature from the Cenomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe is
given in Tables 1 - 1 0, which are placed at the end of the
chapter.
An annotated bibliography is given on pp. 55-62 .
The history of geological research in the Sergipe Basin can
be divided as follows (in part after Leinz 1 955) : ( I ) the
period of the foreign travelIers ( 1 820- 1 87 5 ) , ( 2 ) the initi
ation and consolidation of national research ( 1 8 75- 1 940) ,
( 3 ) the basic prospeeting for oil ( 1 940- 1 956) , and (4) mod
ern detailed and diversified research ( post- 1 956) .
The period of the foreign travellers

(1820-1875)
James Henderson ( 1 82 1 ) , in his A History of the Bra:;,il, devot
ed a chapter to the " Province of Seregipe d ' E I Rey " . Under
the heading " Mineralogy" he mentioned the occurrence of
lime. This is probably the first pu blished reference to the
Historical review
C retaceous rocks of the Sergipe Basin, although the age of

the beds was unknown at that time . Subsequent foreign
travelIers paid little or no attention to the Cretaceous geolo
gy of this area.
The first geological description of Sergipe was not until
fifty years later, when the C anadian scientist Charles Fred
erick Hartt ( 1 870a) published his now classical GeolOg) and
Physical Geography of Bra::.il (following an earlier summary
account of the subj ect (Hartt 1 868) , including the first men
tion of ammonites from Brazil) . Hartt travelled along the
coast between Rio de Janeiro and Pernambuco in 1 867,
s tudying the geology and geography and collecting fossils. A
few ammonites and a gastropod from the town of Maruim
were described by H yatt ( 1 870) , including the new speeies
" Ceratites Harttii" [ Paravascoceras hartti]. U nfortunately,
none of the speeimens were figured. [From Hyatt's descrip
tions it appears that, besides Paravascoceras hartti, the collec
ti on probably included a Hoplitoides or Coilopoceras ( " Cera
tites (Ammonites) Pierdenalis Von Buch " ; cf. von Buch 1 849) ,
some Pu:;,osia ( "Ammonites Hallii Meek and Hayden?"; cf.
Meek & Hayden 1 85 7 ) , and some Oxytropidoceras ( "Am
monites Peruvianus Von Buch, or A mmonites acutocarinatus Shu
mard" and "Ammonites Gibbonianus Lea " ; cf. de Buch 1 839,
Shumard 1 854, and Lea 1 84 1 , respectively) . This is clearly a
mixture of Albian and Turonian forms, which is understand
abie considering that the fossils were collected from the
s treet pavement in Maruim (Branner 1 890 :396) or donated
to Hartt by residents of the town.] It later appeared that the
speeimen of " Ceratites Harttii" came from the locality Bom
Jesus, near the town of Laranj eiras (Branner 1 890:397 ) .
Hartt also visited the Sapucari quarry on the Sergipe River,
where he collected a small ammonite and some inoceramids.
The ammonite was unfortunately not described and "may
have been lost" ( Maury 1 93 0 : 2 7 5 ) . [ I n the collections of the
Museu Nacional in Rio de Janeiro, there is a badly pre
served Subprionocyclus?, labelled "Sergipe, Maruim, Sapu
cari " , collected by the "Commissao Geologica" (see below) .
This may well be the speeimen in question .] Due to the
paucity of diagnostic fossils, the age of the Sapucari beds
was for long the subj ect of much confusion and dispute .
Hartt ( 1 870a:555-556) tentatively subdivided the Creta
ceous of Sergipe into a lower group ( middle C retaceous?) and
an upper group ( Senonian?) . Figure 5 summarizes the his
torical development of the middle C retaceous stratigraphy of
the Sergipe Basin.

The initiation and consolidation of national

research (1875-1940)
This period saw the creation and extinction of the first
geological survey of Brazil, the "Commissao Geologiea do
I mperio do Brazil" ( 1 875- 1 8 7 7 ) , directed by Hartt. Orville
A. Derby, one of Hartt's students, worked for the "Commis
saG Geologica" ; later he became Director of the Geological
Department of the Museu Nacional in Rio de Janeiro and
also the first Director of the " Servi<;:o Geologico e Mineralo
gico do Brasil" , founded in 1 90 7 . Through Derby' s initia
tive, a large part of the palaeontological material collected in
Sergipe by Brazilian and foreign geologists was sent abroad
for s tudy by specialists . This resulted in severai important
monographs.
The first monograph on C retaceous foss ils from Sergipe

was by Charles A. White ( 1 887 ) , who described collections
made by the "Commissao Geologica" . Hyatt's " Ceratites
Harttii" from Bom Jesus was redescribed and figured, to
gether with the new speeies A mmonites pedroanus from the
same locality. The latter was named after the last emperor of
Brazil, Dom Pedro I l , who in 1 865 had collected C retaceous
fish fossils at Sapucari and Laranj eiras (Oliveira & Leonar
dos 1 940: 3 60) . A rich ostreid fauna, some other bivalves, a
gastropod and echinoids were described from localities in
the Estancia area [now known to be, at least in part, of
Cenomanian age]. Bivalves from the Sapucari quarry were
identified as Posidonomya, later described by Maury ( 1 925) as
the new inoceramid subgenus Sergipia. Derby ( 1 887a, 1 88 7 b ,
1 88 7 c) contributed d a t a on t h e localities a n d diseussed the
age relationships . He pointed out that parts of the Bom
Jesus fauna had "a Jurassic aspect " , an opinion expressed
also by Hyatt (Hartt 1 8 70a:385) and later diseussed by
severai authors . The localities sampled were centred around
the towns of Riaehuelo, Maruim and Laranj eiras in the
north and Estancia and Santa Luzia in the south.
John Casper Branner ( 1 890) , another of Hartt's geologists
of the "Commissao Geologica" , published an account of the
Sergipe-Alagoas Basin with important information on Iocal
ities from which White's material derived .
White's monograph was much cited and commented
upon, for example, by Franz Kossmat ( 1 895, 1 89 7 , 1 898)
who diseussed the ammonites and noted the "striking resem
blance" between Ammonites pedroanus White and Acanthoceras
footeanum Stoliczka from India. [The latter is now assigned to
Pseudaspidoceras and taken to be a senior synonym of A .
pedroanus White.] KQssmat ( 1 895 :467) concluded that the
entire sequence exposed around Maruim (including Lastro
and Bom Jesus) was of C enomanian age (see also Kossmat
1 898: 1 46) . A C enomanian age had been suggested earlier by
Gustav Steinmann ( 1 88 1 : 1 43 ) on the basis of Hyatt's ( 1 870)
description of " Ceratites Harttii" (Fig. 5A) , and was further
supported by Hyatt ( 1 90 3 : 1 03 ) in his description of an
additional speeimen of Vascoceras hartti (Hyatt) . Henri Dou
ville (in Lapparent 1 900: 1 3 1 1 ) , however, placed the whole
sequence in the upper Albian ( Fig. 5A) . E mile Haug
( 1 9 1 0? : 1 295- 1 296) re-evaluated the C retaceous s tratigraphy
of Sergipe, using White's ( 1 88 7 ) ammonites, and proposed a
(lower) Cenomanian lower part and a Turonian upper part
( Fig. 5A) .
Ralph H. Sopper ( 1 9 1 4: 3 8 ) completed an outline of the
outerop area of the middle C retaceous by adding the occur
rences at I taporanga and Japaratuba. I n the accompanying
geologi ca I map of Sergipe and northern Bahia, the Creta
ceous and Tertiary were lumped together and the map is
therefore of limited value in the present con text.
I n 1 924, " Servi<;:o Geologico e Mineralogico do Brasil"
published a geological map of the S tate of Sergipe, compiled
by Luiz Flores de Moraes Rego, showing C retaceous rocks
("Sergipe Series " ) in the above mentioned areas .
Alberto Betim Paes Leme in 1 924 produced the first
textbook on the geology of Brazil, intended mainly as a
guide for visitors to the Museu Nacional . He noted the great
number of poorly s tudied ammonites collected from Sergipe
( Paes Leme 1 924: 206) .

American palaeontologis t of Brazilian descent, described the

In 1 92 7 there appeared A Geological Comparison of South
America with South Africa by Alex. L. Du Toit, one of the
classical works in the history of the theory of continental
drift. Du Toit, who was an ardent supporter of Alfred We
gener's controversial theory, had travelled extensively in
South Ameriea in 1 92 3 . He compared the C retaceous coastal
basins on both sides of the South Atlantic and concluded
that they had a common origin (Du Toit 1 92 7 : 1 1 4) .
E . P . de Oliveira ( 1 929) , in a s tratigraphical chart for the
whole of Brazil, res tricted the Bom Jesus beds to the lower
Turonian; the Lastro beds were given as C enomanian ( Fig.
5A) .
Moraes Rego ( 1 929) subdivided the middle Cretaceous of
Sergipe into Albian, Cenomanian and Turonia'n (Fig. 5A) .
A year later, Maury ( 1 930:42-49) published an entirely
different subdivision : middle-upper Albian, lower Turonian
and Maastrichtian (Fig. 5A) , based on a summary revision
of White's fossil descriptions ( M aury 1 93 0 : 2 7 2-299) .
From field studies briefly reported on in 1 929 (see above) ,
Morais Rego [sic] ( 1 93 3 : 39, 48, 56) concluded that the
Sapucari beds , suggested by Maury ( 1 930) to be
Maastrichtian ["Maertritquiano" of Morais Rego], are a
lateral facies of the Turonian. He maintained his subdivision
of the middle C retaceous into Albian, Cenomanian and
Turonian ( although with revised unit names ; cf. Fig. 1 4) and
suggested a late Turonian age for the beds around Estancia
(and Aracaj u ! ; Fig. 5A) .
Maury ( 1 93 7 ) redescribed the collections studied by
White ( 1 88 7 ) and included the fossils collected by Morais
Rego. A new Turonian locality, C edro, was established on
the basis of finds of lnoceramus labiatus (von Schlotheim) .
Ammonites from nearby [Sanhara] were assigned to Euho
plites, Anahoplites and Turrilites, and a middle Albian age was
suggested ( M aury 1 93 7 : 2 2 8 - 2 3 1 , 242-245) . These determi
nations were contested by Bengtson ( in Reyment 1 98 1 : 1 88 ) .
[Study of the original speeimens shows that the hoplitids are
lower Turonian Mitonia and Watinoceras? ] Maury placed the
Estancia and I taporanga beds provisionally in the Albian
and persisted with a Maastrichtian age for the Sapucari beds
( "Sapucahy Limestone" ; Fig. 5A) .
Aristomenes G. Duarte reported on field-work carried out
in 1 935 in two publications ( 1 936, 1 938) , the latter contain
ing useful data on localities and fossils collected . His reports
of Anahoplites spp. and Turrilites sp. from C edro must be
considered in the light of Maury's misidentifications (see
above) , although Roxo ( 1 938: 1 85- 1 86) correctly placed
these speeimens in the lower Turonian . Alberto Wanderley
( 1 938) gave an account of locaJities visited during field-work
in 1 93 5 . [Thanks to his detail ed report, many of the unde
scribed speeimens in the collections of the Departamento
Nacional da Produ\=ao Mineral, DNPM (which succeeded
the "Servi\=o Geologico e Mineralogico do Brasil" in 1 93 3 ) ,
can now be properly localized .]
Some of the speeimens collected by Duarte and Wander
ley were listed by Roxo ( 1 938: 1 80- 1 87 ) ; among them are the
ammonites "Puzosia brasiliana Maury" and "Scaphites s p . "
from the lower Turonian o f Laranj eiras . [Study o f the two
speeimens in the collections of the Divisao de Geologia e
Mineralogia of DNPM shows that the former can be referred
to Watinoceras? cf. guentherti Reyment and the latter to Watino-

The map of Sergipe in Rocha's ( 1 939) A tlas geol6gico do

showing the entire C retaceous and the Estancia Group [ Pro

I n 1 940, Ol ivei ra & Leonardos produced a comprehensive
textbook on the geology of Brazil, Geologia do Brasil, which as
far as Sergipe is concerned is mainly a synthesis of pubJished
data. The accompanying geological map of Brazil by A . I . de
Oliveira greatly exaggerates the extent of the C retaceous
rocks in Sergipe. Also in 1 940, E. P . de Oliveira gave an
account of field-work carried out as early as 1 92 1 . He was
the first to introduee formation names (see Fig. 1 4) , and
disagreed with Morais Rego ( 1 9 3 3 ) about the age of the
Sapucari beds ( "Sapucari Formation" ) , arguing that
Maury's ( 1 93 7 ) Maastrichtian age was correct.
The basic prospecting for oil (1940-1956)

The Conselho Nacional do Petr61eo (CNP) was created in
1 938. In January 1 939 oil was discovered in the Reconcavo
Basin (Bahia) , and the prospeeting was extended to the
Sergipe Basin in 1 940 . Unti1 1 948, only reconnaissance work
was carried out ( Marques 1 965 ) . The fossils collected were
generally sent to the Divisao de Geologia e Mineralogia of
the Departamento Nacional da Prodw;:ao Mineral .
From the numerous published and unpublished reports
on the extensive field investigations in Sergipe, data relevant
to the C enomanian-Coniacian were included in annual re
ports of the Conselho N acional do Petr61eo ( l 948a, 1 948b,
1 949, 1 95 1 ) and in articles by Cordeiro ( 1 94 1 ) and Leonar
dos ( 1 949) . Important fossil collections were brought togeth
er by A . I. de Oliveira, P . de Moura and A. L. Wanderley of
CNP. Some field observations were published by A. I . de
Oliveira ( 1 943) together with a geological map of Sergipe.
I n 1 943, a second, revised and much extended edition of
Geologia do Brasil (Oliveira & Leonardos 1 943) appeared .
The chapter on the Cretaceous of Sergipe is notably expand
ed and also more comprehensive than A. I. de Oliveira's
contemporary paper ( 1 943) . The book contains a more de
tailed map of the outerop area of the middle C retaceou s .
Magalhaes ( 1 95 2 , 1 95 3 ) described t h e first coilopoceratids
from Sergipe, collected from [south of] Japaratuba by C N P
geologists. T h e presenee o f Hoplitoides suggested t o Maga
Ihaes ( 1 95 2 ) that the Laranj eiras Limestone (sensu Campbell
1 948; cf. Fig. 14 herein) embraced the whole Turonian,
possibly even extending into the " Emscherian" ( Fig. 5A) .
Modem detailed and diversified research

(post-1956)
The " modern " period of research on the C retaceous of
Sergipe can be said to begin in 1 956 when Petrobnis created in 1 95 3 to take over oil exploration in Brazil from
CNP - contracted the Germari geologis t Fritz Bender for
detailed mapping of the basin. This was followed by intensi
fied surface and subsurface investigations, described in nu
merous unpublished Petrobras reports and ; for example, in
Riiefli ( 1 966) . I n 1 963, the first oil field was discovered , the
C arm6polis field (Petrobras 1 964) , and production started
FOSSILS AND STRATA 1 2 ( 1 983)
in 1 964. In 1 968, exp10ration was extended to the continen

tal shelf, where rich reserves are being exploited today.
One of the most important stratigraphical results of Bend
er's work ( carried out in 1 95 7 ) was mentioned by P . E . de
Oliveira ( 1 958) and K . Beurlen ( 1 958) , namely that the
thin-bedded Sapucari limes tones and the massive Laran
j eiras limes tones are contemporaneous facies, and not of
widely disparate ages as was suggested, for example, by
Maury ( 1 93 7 ; Fig. 5A herein) . A lateral facies relationship
had been proposed as early as 1 93 3 , by Morais Rego, but
became generally accepted only after Bender' s work.
From Bender' s fossil collections, P. E. de Oliveira ( 1 958)
reported for the first time the lower Turonian ammonite
Mammites ( and upper Albian was confirmed through a find a
Elobiceras; Fig. 5A) . A full report on the Sergipe Basin was
published a year later (Bender 1 959) with a detailed geologi
cal map and lists of fossils collected . An ammonite collection
from a quarry on the I tabaiana road [= locality Silo Pedro I
hereinJ was figured ( Pl . 3 : 3 ) and said to eontain Mammites,
Pseudaspidoceras [almost certainly KamerunocerasJ , Vascoceras
[probably Fagesiaj , and Coilopoceras.
Santos & Cunha ( 1 958, 1 959) revised the echinoid Hemias
terjacksoni Maury, which had previously been studied also by
Cooke ( 1 95 3 ) .
From 1 96 1 onwards, severai papers by K. Beurlen ap
peared on the geology and palaeontology of the C retaeeous
of northeastern Brazil. In two papers ( K . Beurlen 1 96 1 a,
1 96 I b) , he diseussed the palaeogeography and reported on
new collections of Turonian fossils, citing, for example, the
ammonites Kamerunoceras and Pseudotissotia . K. Beurlen
( 1 96 1 c) introduced the theory of a land barrier between the
Potiguar and Sergipe-Alagoas basins separating the Central
and South Atlantic oceans. K. Beurlen ( 1 96 I a) was also the
first to attempt an ammonite zonation of the Aptian-Albian
sequence ( Fig. 5A) .
Petri ( 1 962) described 1 9 speeies of foraminifers (of which
1 3 were new) and mentioned the ostracode Brachycythere afr.
sphenoides Reuss as one of the best markers of the " Sapucari
Formation" . Among his localities, the one designated C8,
southeast of Japaratuba, was characterized by abundant
Exogyra [from current knowledge ( see p. 49) a good indica
tion of the middle-upper C enomanian]. Petri presented a
foraminiferal zonation for the Turonian (Fig. 5B) based on
two abundant speeies of Heterohelix [although his samples
were actually derived from Cenomanian and Coniaeian 10calities too]. He attempted to correlate his foraminiferal
zones with the macrofossil succession of Sergipe, using a
loosely defined framework of "assemblage zones " ( Petri
1 962:6, 38; Fig. 5B herein) .
M . E . C . M . Santos ( 1 963 ) described two new speeies of
Inoceramus from near the town Nossa Senhora do Socorro
[from what are now known to be Coniacian beds].
The ostracode predominant in the Cotinguiba Formation
was described by Krammel bein ( 1 964) as Brachycythere (B.)
sapucariensis and was given an early Turonian age [although
the locality data suggest early Coniacian].
Reyment ( 1 965) remarked on the faunal similarities be
tween West Africa and South Ameriea, eiting for the first
time from Brazil [SergipeJ the ammonite speeies Benueites
benueensis Reyment.
Palynomorphs had been us ed in biostratigraphy by Petro
bras since 1 95 7 . However, it was not until 1 966 that the first
Historical review
13
palynological zonation for the C retaceous of northeastern

Brazil was published ( M uller 1 966) , showing one zone for
the Turonian-Coniacian of S ergipe ( Fig. 5B ) .
I n a standard micropalaeontological chart for the C reta
ceous-Tertiary of northeastern Brazil, Braun ( 1 966) desig
nated a foraminiferal zone "Z-5" comprising the "Sapucari/
Laranj eiras Formation" of late C enomanian -early Coniac
ian age (Fig. 5B) .
Fernandes ( 1 967) published a detailed stratigraphical
chart with Petrobras ' zonations based on ostracodes ( pre
C enomanian only) , foraminifers and pollen ( Fig. 5B) .
Brito ( 1 967) described a badly preserved ammonite col
lected by Bender in the Estancia area in southern Sergipe .
He named it Metengonoceras oliveirai and dated it as Albian
[now known to be C enomanianJ . Oliveira & Brito ( 1 969)
redescribed the coilopoceratids studied by Magalhiles ( 1 95 2 ,
1 95 3 ) together with additional material including t h e lower
Turonian genus Spathites? and a Pseudaspidoceras pedroanum
(White) from south ofJaparatuba. [The latter speeimen is in
fact a middle C enomanian Dunveganoceras and the first pub
lished record of a C enomanian ammonite from Sergipe . J
Viana ( 1 969) published Petrobras' foraminiferal zonation
and compared the palynological zonation with West Africa
( Fig. 5B) .
Reyment ( 1 969a) , working mainly from published data,
reviewed the palaeobiogeography of the South Atlantic. He
concluded from faunal evidence that the Central and South
Atlantic oceans became permanently connected late in the
early Turonian, with possibly an ephemeral contact in the
late Albian.
K . Beurlen ( 1 970) synthesized earlier work in his Geologie
von Brasilien and adde.d the ammonites Paramammites [= Mi
toniaJ and Neoptychites to the lower Turonian fauna of
Sergipe ( 1 9 7 0 : 254) . Upper Cenomanian was indieated
through the ammonite Metoicoceras ( 1 970: 254) . K. Beurlen
named the beds exposed in the Estancia area "Tibiircio
Beds" (after the most important fossil locality) and placed
them tentatively in the C enomanian on the basis of the
abundance of Exogyra ( 1 9 7 0 : 2 5 3 ; Fig. 5B herein) .
G. Beurlen ( 1 970) , describing some of the ammonites
collected by Petrobras geologis ts, proposed a zonation for the
post-Albian sequence (Fig. 5B) to complement the existing
Aptian-Albian zonation (Fig. 5A) . He added the new genera
Pachydesmoceras (upper [= 10werJ C enomanian) , Parapuzosia
( upper Turonian?) and Damesites, Forresteria and Prionocyclo
ceras (lower Coniacian) . [Other genera new for Sergipe were
also described or figured, e . g . , Graysonites and Fagesia, al
though under different names .J
Work on a much needed stratigraphical revision of the
Sergipe Basin was taken up in 1 963 by the Comissiio da
Revisiio Estratigrdfica da Bacia de SergipelA lagoas of Petrobras .
The resulting publication ( S challer 1 970) is a basic reference
work for geological work in the basin. Four different biostra
tigraphical zonations for the marine sequences were present
ed, based on ammonites, plank tie foraminifers, benthic mi
crofossils, and sporomorphs ( Fig. 5B) . A lithostratigraphy of
the Sergipe Basin was established, including the now gener.
ally accepted names Riachuelo Formation for the lower part
and Cotinguiba Formation for the upper part of the middle
Cretaceous sequence ( cf. Fig. 1 4) .
K . Beurlen ( 1 9 7 I a:94) commented further on the strati
graphical position of the "Tibiircio Formation" . Besides two
14
species of Exogyra, he reported a small Liostrea and a species

of Plicatula. I n one of severaI other papers on the middle
Cretaceous stratigraphy and sedimentation, K . Beurlen
( 1 9 7 1 b: 1 8) discussed the lower Turonian arnmonite faunas,
using Petrobras' (Schaller 1 9 70) ammonite zonation (but
the designation " Vascoceras- Coilopoceras" for the Coilopoceras
aff. colleti Zone) . He further discussed ( K . Beurlen
1 9 7 1 b: 20- 2 3 ) the facies relationships of the " Sapucari
Laranj eiras Formation" and reverted in part to the original
concept of the Sapucari and Laranj eiras limes tones as succes
sive deposits. The absence of ammonites [sic] from the mid
dle-upper Turonian " ammonitenfreie Zwischenzone", said
to be chiefly developed as thin-bedded Sapu cari limes tones,
was explained through unfavourable currents in a deeper
water regime than the Laranj eiras limes tones . [The explana
ti on was actually much simpler: inadequate collecting. J
Brito ( 1 9 7 1 ) described a [doubtfulJ nau tiloid and three
ammonites from the Turonian. [O ne described as Fagesia
was collected by Bender northwest of Rosario do C atete and
so cannot be Turonian as stated . J
Results of field-work in Sergipe in 1 969 b y R. A . Reyment
and E . A. Tait appeared in severaI publications ( Reyment
1 9 7 1 a, 1 97 1 b, 1 9 7 2 ; Reyment & Tait 1 972a, 1 9 72b) . I n the
principal report ( Reyment & Tait 1 9 7 2a) , the lower Turon
ian was subdivided on the basis of ammonites (adding
Wrightoceras to the fauna; Fig. 5B) , and the age of the l tapo
ranga beds, previously referred to the late Cenomanian, was
shown to be early Cenomanian through finds of Sharpeiceras
and Stoliczkaia . From the Coniacian the authors reported, for
example, Peroniceras?, Solgerites, Hauericeras, Nowakites and
Prionocycloceras (" Prionocyclus" ) .
TroeIsen & Quadros ( 1 9 7 1 ) and Quadros & Gomide
( 1 97 3 ) reported the biostratigraphical results obtained by
Petrobras from nannofossils . Two zones are recognized in
the Cenomanian-Coniacian ( Fig. 5B) , although offshore
only the lower zone has been identified . The current foramin
iferal zonation used by Petro bras was given by Aurich et al.
( 1 972, Fig. 2; Fig. 5B herein) and subsequently elaborated by
Noguti & Santos ( 1 9 7 3 ) . These latter authors noted the low
diversity of the Aptian-C enomanian faunas by comparison
with adjacent tropical areas (Trinidad ) . This was explained
by an ecological barrier in the narrow strait that separated
Africa from South America, a barrier consisting of lower
salinity and high er turbulence than are normal for oceanic
waters . Such conditions could develop as a result of excessive
equatorial precipi tation producing heavy influx of fresh wa
ter bearing suspended material.
Neufville ( 1 9 7 3 :9 1 -93, 1 979: 1 52) described ostracodes
from two Petro bras borehoies . A lower Turonian Brachy
cythere sapucariensis Krommelbein was reported from one of
the cores (2-IA- I -SE) , taken 20 km southeast of I taporanga
(and 1 . 5 km northeas t of the I taporanga Fault; see Richter
& Simoes 1 975, sheet S C . 24-Z-D-I -2/4 Sao C rist6vao) . [In
the 1973 paper, the two bore hoIes were inadvertently mixed
and the lower Turonian material was said to derive from a
core taken east of]aparatuba ( Neufville 1 97 3 : 1 8) . J
K . Beurlen ( 1 974) reviewed the history o f the South At
lantic and concluded, mainly on the basis of ammonite
evidence, that it became connected with the Central Atlantic
between the early Turonian and the Coniacian.
A refined palynological zonation was presented by Regali
FOSSILS AND STRATA 12 ( 1 98 3 )
e t a l . ( 1 974) a n d compared with l : , e current foraminifer and

nannofossil zonations . Some substages were further divided,
although in Sergipe only one pollen zone was recognized in
the Cenomanian-Coniacian ( Fig. 5B) . The pollen flora of the
Brazilian continental margin was subsequently described by
Regali et al. ( 1 97 5 ) . Contemporary biostratigraphical work
on palynomorphs was carried out by Herngreen ( 1 9 75) , who
established one zone comprising the whole Cenomanian
Coniacian ( ? ) interval ( Fig. 5B) .
Romein ( in Herngreen 1 9 7 5 : 7 3 ) and Krommelbein ( 1 97 5 )
reported o n Turonian-Coniacian ostracodes . Besides abun
dant and generally dominant Brachycythere (B .) sapucariensis
Krommelbein, Bairdia, Paracypris and Cythereis are presen t.
Bengtson ( in Herngreen 1 9 7 5 : 5 5 ) added the lower Ceno
manian Graysonites to the ammonite fauna.
I n 1 9 75, a geological map of the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin
was published ( Richter & Si moes 1 9 7 5 ) comprising 33
sheets of 1 : 50 000 scale. The map is based on Petro bras '
unpublished geological maps of I : 25 000 scale and is basical
ly lithostratigraphical, although with some biostratigraphi
cal notes .
A correlation chart for the Brazilian sedimentary basins
was presented by Sampaio & Northfleet ( 1 9 7 5 ) , comprising
revised zonations based on pollen, foraminifers and ostra
codes (Fig. 5B) . The entire C enomanian sequence is referred
to the Riachuelo Formation, by contrast to, for example,
Oj eda & Fugita ( 1 976) who refer the C enomanian to the
Cotinguiba Formation, or with Lange ( 1 9 7 5 ) who refers the
lower Cenomanian to the Riachuelo Formation and the
upper C enomanian to the Cotinguiba Formation . ( For dis
cussion of the Riachuelo-Cotinguiba boundary, see pp. 3841 .)
Kennedy & Cooper ( 1 9 75) and Kennedy & Cobban
( 1 976) , from study of the ammonite distributions around the
Atlantic, sugges ted that "open marine conditions, if not
actual rifting" between the C entral and South Atlantic de
veloped during the late Albian. This contrasts with, for
example, K . Beurlen ' s ( 1 974) recons tructions .
Reyment et al. ( 1 9 76) compared the transgression-regres
sion pattern of Nigeria and Sergipe-Alagoas and reported
the following new ammonite genera from P . Bengtson' s field
work in Sergipe: Hypoturrilites (lower C enomanian ) , Acantho
ceras ( middle C enomanian) , Pseudocalycoceras and Kanabiceras
[now a subgenus of Euomphaloceras (Cooper 1 978) J ( upper
Cenomanian) , Watinoceras ( middle Turonian ) , Subprionocyclus
and Reesidites (upper Turonian ) , and Barroisiceras (lower
Coniacian) ( Fig. 5B) . They noted permanent marine con
nexion between the C entral and South Atlantic from the
late Cenomanian -early Turonian transgression; occasional
"slop-overs" with faunal exchange occurred in the late Alb
ian and possibly also the middle Albian . [A midd le or late
Albian date for joining the two limbs of the Atlantic has since
been supported by Wiedmann & Neugebauer ( 1 9 78) and
Forster & Scholz ( 1 979) . J
I n 1 976, sheet SC . 24 Aracaj u o f the I : I mill . geological
map of Brazil appeared ( Bruni et al. 1 9 76) . At this scale the
map contains little information on the C enomanian-Coniac
ian, but the accompanying explanation has an appendix
(Campos & C ampos 1 976) containing some previously un
published information on fossil localities and speeimens in
the collections of DNPM [although the map ( Fig. 1 8) gives
Historieal review
severai locality positions incorrectly]. A lower C enomanian

A canthoceras [= Sharpeiceras] and a Coniacian Gauthiericeras
were reported from Bender's collection .
Lefranc ( 1 9 7 7 ) , in comparing the gastropod faunas of
northeastern Brazil and the Aigerian Sahara, listed two
upper C enomanian and nine lower Turonian gastropods
from P. Bengtson ' s Sergipe collections.
I n a discussion of the Turonian ammonite associations of
the Tethyan Realm, Reyment ( 1 978) remarked that "in
Morocco (Tarfaya) and Brazil (Sergipe) , Watinoceras and
Benueites occur in the same associations, although the former
tends to pre-date the occurrence of the latter and the latter
appears to persist after the disappearance of the last repre
sentatives of the former" .
Bengtson ( 1 979) presented a provisional zonation of the
C enomanian-Coniacian based on ammonite genera and
compared this with current zonations bas ed on planktic
foraminifers, nannofossils and sporomorphs . The ammonite
scheme (Fig. 5B) comprised ten provisional zones and in
cludes the first reports of Dunveganoeeras (cf. p. 1 3 ) and
A eompsoeeras from the middle C enomanian, and Thomelites
from the upper C enomanian.
K . Beurlen 's supposition ( 1 9 7 0 : 2 5 3 , 1 9 7 I a:94) of C eno
manian age for the Tiburcio beds in the Estancia area was
confirmed by Bengtson ( I 980a ) through the occurrence of
the late Cenomanian ammonite Thomelites.
Viana ( 1 980) summarized the micropalaeontological suc
cessions of the marginal basins; however, no s pecific men
tion was made of the Sergipe Basin.
I n two papers , Brito ( 1 980, 1 98 1 ) described (in part
redescribed) an echinoderm collection, consisting of Phymo
soma bra::,iliensis ( White) from Santa Luzia near Estancia
[probably Cenomanian, in view of the Thomelites mentioned
above], two lower Turonian Hemiaster, a lower Coniacian
Hemiaster sp. and a Stereo eidaris s p . , collected by Wanderley in
1 934.
I n studies of the microfloral relationships between Africa
15
and South America, Herngreen ( 1 98 1 : 4 1 2 ) reported the

dinoflagellate Dinogymnium from " . . . the Sergipe Cotin
guiba Formation ( Upper Turonian or Coniacian) . . . " [now
dated as early Coniacian], and Lima & Boitenhagen ( 1 98 1 )
subdivided the Cenomanian-Coniacian into four palyno
morph units ( Fig. 5B) .
Apart from the papers reviewed above, a number of pa
pers have been published over the past decade by geologists
of Petrobras on the general geology, structural geology,
palaeogeography, etc. of the Sergipe Basin and/or the entire
east Brazilian continental margin . These include Oj eda &
Bisol ( 1 97 2 ) , Asmus & Porto ( 1 9 74, 1 980) , Meister & Aurich
( 1 97 2 ) , Asmus & Ponte ( 1 9 7 3 ) , C . W . M . C ampos et al.
( 1 974) , Asmus ( 1 975, 1 98 1 ) , Ponte & Asmus ( 1 976, 1 9 78) ,
Oj eda & Fugita ( 1 976) , Asmus & C arvalho ( 1 978) , and
Ponte et al. ( 1 980) .
Fossils reported in the literature

Tables 1 - 1 0 list all fossils reported in the literature from the
Cenomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe, with relevant remarks .
Most of the microfossils are derived from offshore sequences ,
in which the Santonian is normally included in the Cotin
guiba depositional cycle; therefore, the tables for microfossils
(Tables 5-8) cover also this s tage.
The purpose of the lists is to provide convenient compari
son with faunas and floras of other areas . Entries consist of
the first mention and description of each taxon . Where
possible, fossil names are brought up to date (in the remarks) .
Generic reassignments are noted where applicable, where
as reidentifications at species leve! are given on ly when
original specimens have been studied.
For macrofossils (Tables 1 -4 and 9- 1 0 ) , ages are given
within the framework of ammonite units used herein (see pp.
44-47) . For microtossils, this has generally not been possible,
due to lack of diagnostic macrofossils in subsurface samples .
Table l. Ammonites reported from the Cenomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe, giving original names and first authors; distinction is made between

Most research on the midd le Cretaceous of Sergipe has been
directed towards the Riachuelo Formation. For the overly
ing Cotinguiba Formation, in spite of the extensive literature
(see pp. 55-62 ) , the rich faunas have been toa poorly known
to allow detailed correlation with other areas.
According to the literature, only about 30 localities in the
Cotinguiba Formation had previously been sampled for fos
sils and their faunas then described . Thus, a basic systemat
ic inventory of the faunas of the entire sequence was re
quired . Approximately 600 sections were selected to provide
a uniform geographical and s tratigraphical grid within the
areas exposed . Particular emphasis was placed on less well
known and geographically more poorly represented parts of
the sequence, that is, the C enomanian, the uppermost Tur
onian and the Coniacian. A few localities investigated in the
Riachuelo-Cotinguiba boundary beds (occurring within the
Cotinguiba belt on the geological map of Richter & Sim6es
1 975) may be of Albian age. However, since the possibility
of a C enomanian age cannot be ruled out, these localities are
included in the investigation .

The base data on the map accompanying this pa per (Appen

& Si moes ( 1 9 7 5 ) with the road network updated, where
necessary. Minor roads and tracks were transferred from
Petrobrs' unpublished topographical maps ( for references,
see above) or written in directly in the field . Apart from
main roads, only roads leading to localities investigated are
shown on the map. The Estancia area in the southern part of

Exposures and accessibility

The Sergipe Basin lies within the tropical belt, between
latitudes 1 00S and 1 1 . 5S ( cf. Fig. 2 ) . C retaceous marine rocks
crop out within the coastal vegetational zone, mala ( " for
est" ) , which is nowadays sparsely forested and extensively
cultivated , mostly for sugar cane. The climate is classified as
As using the Koppen system, i . e . tropical rain climate with
dry summers . The landscape is undulating (Fig. 6) , with
hi Ils locally reaching 50 m or more above the surrounding
terrain . The major rivers are tidal estuaries, bordered by
mangrove swamps ( Fig. 7) which are of wide extent in some
areas .
The C enozoic continental Barreiras Group forms the s ur
ficial deposits of extensive areas along the coast of northeast
ern Brazil . I n the Sergipe Basin, there are numerous win
dows in this cover which provide intermittent exposure of
the Mesozoic bedrock. The C enomanian-Coniacian is fairly
weU exposed in the eastern onshore part of the basin ( Fig.
8) , from I taporanga in southern Sergipe to Japaratuba in the
northeastern part of the state. The localities selected for
investigation lie in this, the s tudy area ( the Estancia area in
southernmost Sergipe is discussed separately, pp. 47-48) .
I n many places in the study area, rock occurs as loose
debris but no in situ bedrock is evident (Fig. 9) . This is
usually a good indication of a very thin soil cover ( Fig. 1 0 ) ,
and since s trong transporting agents are lacking I assume
such loose material to be very locally deri ved .
The main artificial exposures are: road and railway sec
tions, quarries, surface exposures along tracks and minor
roads , and excavations for cons tructions. The primitive
quarrying technique, that is, manual work with crowbars
and sledge-hammers ( Fig. I l ) , us ed in all but two quarries
(Oiteiro 1 9 and Retiro 1 5 ) , facilitates the discovery of ma
crofossils ( cf. p . 29) .
The tropical climate ca us es rapid changes in geomorpho
logy and vegetation. Thus, within short periods, s mall out
crops can easily disappear and new outcrops are constantly
appearing. For example, the fossil-rich locality at Santa
27

Luzia, south of Estancia, cited by White ( 1 88 7 ) , apparently

no longer exis ts. Many localities are accessible only during
part of the year, because of the vegetation or seasonal plan
tation. The latter affects particularly ou tcrops in sugar cane
plantations.
The principal coastal highway BR- I O I runs through the
C retaceous belt. Towns and villages are connected by good
tarred or untarred roads and the network of minor roads is
well developed ( cf. Appendix 3 ) . During the wet season
(usually May-July) , some of the smaller roads are negotia
ble only by four-wheel-drive vehicles . These small roads or
tracks lead to plantations and farms or serve limestone
quarries and oil wells . A considerable number of seetions are
loeated along or near the roads ; few require extensive walk-
Since the macrofossil suecessJOn of the Cenomanian

Coniacian of Sergipe was largely unknown, my lield-work
aimed at obtaining determinable and biostratigraphically
useful macrofossils from as many stratigraphical leveIs and
as large a geographical area as possible . The relative abun
danee, mode of occurrenee, preservation, etc . , of the macro
fossils were reeorded together with eonventional lield notes

on the localities . Data which identify the localities for subse

quent workers are included in the locality descriptions (Ap
pendix l ) . Lithological samples were taken from each 10cal
ity for microfossil, microfacies, petrographical, and geo
chemical analyses .
Biostratigraphical work in the Sergipe Basin is hampered
by the limited lateral and vertical ex tent of most exposures,
the latter usually less than a metre. Stratigraphically over
lapping sections are extremely rare, so that it is difficult to
establish composite sections . C onsiderable local variation in
s trike and dip, and small-scale folds and faults ( see pp. 3 1 - 3 3 )
result in patchy exposure o f t h e different stratigraphical
leveIs, with some levels cropping out in only a single area.
U nfortunately, bedding planes are not always available for
reliable s trike and dip measurements, so there are many
sections which are impossible to relate in s tratigraphical
order.
The thickness of the Cotinguiba Formation averages 200

m but locally reaches well over 1 000 m ( Bandeira 1 97 8 : 2 3 ) .
The higher figure refers to onshore parts of the basin and is
evident from field relationships in the main outerop area
( provided there is no significant repetition of strata; see pp.
3 1 - 3 2 ) . Allowing a maximum of 200 m for the C enomanian
sequence, that leaves at least 600 m of Turonian-C oniacian .
With 600 m of sediments and 1 0 ammonite zones for the
Turonian-Coniacian (Hancock & Kennedy 1 98 1 :544) , the
average thickness per zone will be in the range of 60 m . It is
therefore unlikely that an individual section will contain
significant faunal changes, and even in the thickest sections
investigated - quarries of up to some 20 m - the same
ammonites generally continue throughout. Despite the large
number of sections collected, many s tratigraphically impor
tant foss ils were found at on ly one or a few locali ties . This is
especially so for the C enomanian ( excluding the uppermost

part of the stage) but applies also to the Turonian and

C oniacian, and is a serious obstacle to efficient intra-basinal
correlation . The problem requires continued and wider sys
tematie collecting.
By contrast to the Turonian-Coniacian, the C enomanian
is represented by a comparatively thin sequence with nu
merous gaps. The limited thicknesses make the biostrati
graphy of this part of the sequence more easy to investigate,
although there are other problems. One is the scarcity of
fossiliferous sections , another the effect of local tectonics.
This is well demonstrated in the main C enomanian area
south ofJaparatuba. In the entire C enomanian, there is only
one large, working quarry (localities I taporanga 1 - 3 in the
lower C enomanian; Fig. 1 2 ; see also Figs . 24 and 2 7 ) , and
the rocks are so poorly fossiliferous that macrofossil zonation
appears infeasible. The large numbers of fossils collected
from this and some other Turonian and Coniacian quarries

ian limestones at entranee of ! taporanga.
Vlew of I taporanga 1-3 ( arrowed; Ceno
manian 1) taken to the northeast from

are the result of repeated visits spaced over long periods of

time to procure material collected by the quarry workers .
For these collections it was impossible to find out the exact
levels for individual fossils. Nevertheless, I believe that it is
possible to establish a detail ed macrofossil zonation for parts
of the Cenomanian of Sergipe, especially the uppermost
portion . There are a few potentially useful sections in the
Japaratuba area which should be measured and carefully
collected .
The Cotinguiba Formation is coarsely subdivided on the
basis of easily recognizable ammonites, as explained further
on pp. 43-47. Ammonites were collected from 330 locali ties ,
of which 242 are assigned to a subdivision to form the basic
biostratigraphical framework presen ted he rein (see Appen
dix 3 ) . For localities without diagnostic ammonites , dating is
primarily by inoceramids ( 3 6 10calities) and microfacies ana
lysis ( 2 3 2 localities) , in combination with geographical and

stratigraphical pOSltlOn relative to nearby ammonite-dated

localities (see also pp. 49-50) . In addition , 72 localities are
assigned on the basis only of their geographical and inferred
stratigraphical positions .
Preservation of the ammonites leaves much to be desired .
Many specimens are only fragments, deformation is com
mon, inner whorls are rarely preserved, no shell material
remains, and weathering reduces the morphological charac
ters of the moulds. Almost all the material collected has been
weathered to some extent (as shown by the abundance of
cream and light brown colours, by contrast to the original,
dominantly greyish colours; Fig. 1 3 ) . Fresh samples are
generally restricted to working quarries. For palynological
analysis, weathering presents great problems . Of all the
lithological samples collected , only a handful - all from
working quarries - yielded determinable palynological ma
terial (G. F. W . Herngreen , Haarlem, the Netherlands ,
personal communication 1 9 76) . F o r microfacies analysis, a
slightly weathered sample normally presents no problem.
Locality descriptions
Almost invariably, localities mentioned in the literature on
the Cretaceous of Sergipe are referred to simply by the name
of the nearest town, farm, sugar-mill, or the like, without
details of their precise geographical location. This greatly
reduces the s tratigraphical value of fossils described , since
the localities cannot be found for additional investigation,
nor be plotted on stratigraphical maps , and the s tratigraphi
cal seq uence of the foss ils remains in dou bt. I t is difficul t to
know which localities have previously been well studied , and
this may cause duplication of work.
The localities studied here are shown on a map (Appendix
3 ) and detailed descriptions of each locality are given (Ap
pendix I ) . The primary aim of the descriptions is to make it
possible for subsequent workers to identify these same local
ities in the field. The descriptions reflect the situation in
February 1 9 7 7 . As al ready pointed out, topographical and
vegetational changes can occur rapidly and alter the appear

anee of the sections . In particular, many artificial sections
become overgrown or eovered with soil within only a few
years after they have been abandoned . In this way , once
excellent sections can soon become almost useless. Some of
the sections studied in 1 9 7 1 - 1 9 7 2 were in 1 9 7 7 found to be
partially or even completely des troyed .
The localities investigated are marked with circles on the
biostratigraphical map (Appendix 3 ) . For the descriptions , I
use a system similar to that introduced by the " Baltic-Scan
ian Silurian Proj ect" ( now part of IGC P Proj ect "Ecostrati
graphy " ) for Gotland, Sweden (Laufeld 1 9 74) .
Each locality is named after a nearby town (eidade, vila) or
vill age (povoado) , or after a farm (ja::.enda, sitio) , sugar-mill
( usina, engenho ) , school (escola, coligio ) , etc . , whichever is most
practicable . The toponym chosen is followed by a num ber to
make the complete designation of the locality. The toponyms
are marked on the geological map. I have chosen names
well-known among the loeal people and us ed these for sur
rounding localities independent of pro perty boundaries
(since these may change with time) but with regard to
topographieal grouping. This somewhat arbitrary system
results in wide variation in the num ber of loealities attaehed
to eaeh toponym, as can be observed from the map. The
localities are always within 2 km, and in most eases not more
than I km, from the place marked on the map.
Since the toponyms are geographieal denominations,
speiling adheres to the official Brazilian Portuguese ortho
graphic rules (latest reform 1 8 Deeember 1 9 7 1 ) . This is, in a
few cases , eontrary to local usage. Alternative current forms
and older names ( then synonyms ) , are given in brackets in
the loeality list (excluding variations due to diacritical marks
only) .
In the locality descriptions the toponyms are given in
capitals followed by the locality number. After a colon co
ordinates are given, according to the international Universal
Transverse Mercator ( U T M ) grid system. The UTM grid is
printed in 4 km squares on the geologieal map sheets of the
basin ( Richter & Sim6es 1 9 7 5 ) , thereby allowing easy plot-
ting of the localities on these maps. All values have been

rounded to the nearest 50 m, i . e . to an accuracy of 25 m. For
extensive outcrops, the coordinates refer to a point in the
centre of the outcrop. The geological and topographical map
sheets for the locality are given ( for code numbers, see pp.
25-26) , followed by a short description of the locality. For
localities other than quarries, the term exposure is used to
designate sections less than about 0 . 5 m high ( N B : not
necessarily equal to stratigraphical thickness) and section for
those exceeding 0 . 5 m. Where possible, reference is made to
easily recognizable features in the vicinity . The altitude (m
above sea level) , from Petrobras' topographical map sheets
( see p . 2 5 ) , is stated . The lithological description begins with
a letter code for the lithostratigraphical units ( codes of
Schaller 1 9 70) , followed by a short description of the domi
nant lithology, the most conspicuous s tructures , and any
groups offossils that are abundant and therefore characterize
the locality. References to published information on the
locality area or to specific localities are given ( excluding plain
citations in historical reviews ) . Positioning of localities from
the literature against those described herein was done
through field checks and/or by transfer from published maps .
Where necessary, Petrobras' unpublished geologi ca I maps
(see p. 25) were consulted .
In order to provide quick identification of localities men
tioned in the literature, an index is given after the locality
descriptions.
The descriptions do not include datings and lists of fossils,
because these are subj e c t to change during the systematic
and biostratigraphical work. Su bdivision assignments are
given in a separate locality index (Appendix 2, pp. 74- 7 7 ) .
Lithostratigraphy
The middle Creta'c eous sequence of Sergipe is divided into
the Riachuelo Formation and the Cotinguiba Formation
(see Fig. 3 ) . It was not until the stratigraphical revision by
Petrobras ( S challer 1 970) that a uniform lithostratigraphical
nomenclature was es tablished . Fig. 14 summarizes the de
velopment of the nomenclature from Hartt ( 1 870a) onwards.
The Riachuelo Formation

This study includes only the uppermost parts of the Ria
chuelo Formation, as defined by Petrobras ( Schaller 1 9 70) .
The bulk of the formation is Albian, but at the top the
Maruim Member and its dolomitized equivalent , the Agui
Ihada Member, may locally extend into the Cenomanian .
The Maruim Member, according to the stratigraphical
report of Petrobras ( S challer 1 97 0 : 5 1 ) , is composed of oolitic
to pisolitic limestones, algal limestones ( reefs ) , and detrital
limes tones with intercalations of sands tones, siltstones and
shales . Algal reefs are common in ou tcrop, since they are
more resistant to erosion. The Aguilhada Member is de
s cribed as consisting mainly of cream to chestnut-brown,
saccharoidal dolomites with intercalations of fine-grained to
conglomeratic sands tones, green, grey or red s hales, and
occasional non-dolomitic limestones .
Lithostratigraphy
31
The uppermost parts of the Maruim and Aguilhada mem

bers , according to Schaller ( 1 9 7 0 : 5 1 ) , contain reworked sedi
ments and locally abundant detrital quartz. This is evidence
of very shallow conditions, which generally delimit a deposi
tional cycle. The quartziferous beds are taken to indicate
resumed sedimentation after a significant break. The litho
s tratigraphical implications of this interpretation are dis
cussed on pp. 39-4 1 .
The Cotinguiba Formation

Petrobras ' stratigraphical report on the Sergipe-Alagoas
Basin ( Sch aller 1 97 0 : 5 3 ) states that the Cotinguiba Forma
tion consists of carbonates with clastic intercalations, and
that its two members are defined on the proportion of car
bonates : (a) A racaju Member: C alcareous , fossiliferous, grey
to green claystones or siltstones with intercalations of chest
nut-brown, bituminous shales and yellowish, cryptocrystal
line limes tones . (b) Sapucari Member: Mainly grey to yellow
ish, cryptocrystalline or lithographic, massive or s tratified
limes tones, locally clayey and grading into maris . Local
breccias and coquina banks are not uncommon, and there is
some dolomitization and silicification . ( For a schematic sec
tion, see Fig. 40, p . 46 . )
Although some limes tones o f the Sapucari Member may
be classified as chalks, or chalky limes tones , the term chalk is
avoided here for the following reasons: (a) the chalky ap
pearance is mainly a result of deep weathering and not of
original depositional conditions ( cf. p. 30) ; ( b) these rocks
have a limited vertical and horizontal extent in comparison
with the classical chalks; and (c) coccolithic material, which
dominates "true" chalks, is absent or scarce .
The average thickness of the Cotinguiba Formation is
around 200 m; however, in some surface sections, over 1 000
m has been measured ( S challer 1 9 7 0 : 5 3 ; Bandeira 1 97 8 : 2 3 ) .
In well I -QM- I -S E , I km E of Qui<;:amii, 745 m of Cotin
guiba sediments were penetrated ( Richter & Simoes 1 9 7 5 ,
sheet SC . 24-Z-B-IV-4 Aracaj u; Bandeira 1 9 7 8 , Fig. 1 7 ) .
Figure 2 shows the geographical extent of the Cotinguiba
Formation, under the C enozoic deposits . In subsurface, the
formation extends into southernmost Alagoas ( Oj eda & Fu
gita 1 976, Fig. 1 8; Bandeira 1 978, Fig. 1 5 ) .
A characteristic of the Cotinguiba Formation i s the many
facies variations across small areas; for example, an outerop
of thin-bedded limestones may lie adj acent to one of massive
limes tones, or the two bedding types may even occur togeth
er. Other lithological properties, such as grain-size, hard
ness, colour, etc., may alternate correspondingly . I n some
cases, apparent lateral facies changes are artifacts produced
by weathering (see below) or are a result of post-deposi tional
tectonic processes . However, true lateral facies changes are
com mon as well, reflecting variable depositional conditions .
Some stratal repetition is likely as a result o f small-scale
faulting. However, there is little field support for large-scale
displacements such as the Laranj eiras and C otinguiba faults
of Campbell [Guedes & Silva] ( in Conselho Nacional do
Petr61eo 1 948a: 1 36 , 1 42 , Figs . 1 2- 1 3 ; see als o O 'Gara & '
Mota in Conselho Nacional do Petr61eo 1 949: 7 7-79 and
Bender 1 959, map ) , postulated as NE-SW faults with
downthrows of 800 and 300 m, respectively, in the area

between the towns of Laranj eiras and Nossa Sen hora do

Socorro (commonly abbreviated Socorro ) . These faults are
omitted from more recent detailed maps and reports, evi
dently because of lack of field or subsurface evidence for
dislocation and because of the stratigraphical reinterpreta
tions made after Bender's ( 1 959) recognition of the laminat
ed and massive limes tones as contemporaneous facies . Rep
etition of strata reported from well I basa-2, near C aj aiba
( O ' Gara & Mota in Conselho Nacional do Petr61eo
1 949 : 7 7 ) , may well be a sequence of normal facies variations.

In order to determine if there is real and significant repeti
tion in the Laranj eiras-Socorro area, detailed biostratigra
phical work is required . Preliminary res ults from ammonites
do not exclude the possibility.
A variety of penecontemporaneous, post-deposi tional and
diagenetie s tructures occur in the Cotinguiba Formation.
These include slumps and s mall-scale faults (Figs . 1 5- 1 6;
see also Bender 1 959, Pl. 4: I ) , sink-hoies ( Fig. 1 7 ) , caves

the numerous sections along highway BR-23 5 , where a
larger part of the formation is represented including the

is nearly perpendicular to strike. It is desirable that a refer
ence section ( hypostratotype) be established along BR-235
to complement the holostratotype. Additional reference sec

ably different from the holostratotype.

Pindoba and Laranjeiras Jacies

Since Bender's ( 1 959) work, " S apucari limes tones" has been
used informally as a facies denomination for the laminated
and thin-bedded rocks which are characteristically devel
oped, for example, in the Sapucari quarry ( Sapucari l here
in) . The individual beds are generally separated by clayey or
marly layers, and the rocks commonly appear as flaggy
limes tones. For the thicker- bedded and massive lithologies,
which oceur abundantly, for example, in the Laranj eiras
area, the designation " Laranj eiras limes tones" has been
used . In the Turonian-Coniacian (particularly units Turon
ian 2- Coniacian I herein) , bedding is normally regular, and
facies names are then useful especially for field classification
of the rocks . However, since confusion may arise between
the names " Sapucari faeies " and "Sapucari Member" , I
substitute Pindoba for "Sapucari" with regard to facies . Pin
doba is the name of a farm northwest of the Sapucari quarry
34

hole filled with shale fragments from former cover of Piaabuu
Formation (C alumbi Member) ; Oiteiro 7 ( Coniacian 1) .
(for exact location, see Appendix 3 ) , in one of the

areas where the typical laminated and thin-bedded facies is
well developed .
Since the facies names have never been formalized , their
usage varies among geologists . I lind it convenient in the
lieid to designate " Pindoba facies" for limestones which
rOSS ILS AND STRAT'A 1 2 ( 1 983)
have a bed thickness less than the length of an ordinary

geological hammer, i . e . about 30 cm, and where beds are
laterally consistent ( Figs . 24- 2 7 ) . " Laranj eiras facies" is
then used for limes tones with beds thicker than about 30 cm
( Fig. 28) . The latter facies may be strongly bioturbated and
includes nodular and flaser-bedded limestones ( cf. Fig. 20) .
The facies names apply only to the Sapucari Member and
are not applicable to all iithologies (for example, parts of the
upper C enomanian of the Japaratuba area) . The Aracaj u
Member i s very restricted in outcrop; i t occurs mainly i n the
Aroeirinha-Pati area ( Fig. 29) .
I t is not always possible to determine bedding at small
outcrops or for loose material. In general, flaggy limestones
can be referred to Pindoba facies and coquinoid limestones
to Laranj eiras facies . I rregular weathered surfaces ( Fig. 30)
are characteristic of Laranj eiras facies , especially of the
nodular limes tones . " Rubbly" limestones ( Fig. 3 1 ) are par
ticularly difficult to assign ; they may derive from either
facies and are sometimes intermediate in bed thickness, i . e .
about 30 cm. Weathering c a n change t h e bedding appear
ance radically. For example, Fig. 3 2 shows a fresh quarry
wall apparently in thick-bedded or massive limestones ( La
ranj eiras facies ) , but where exposed to percolating ground
water these break down into thinner layers ( Pindoba facies ) .
Therefore, where a facies name is given in the locality
descriptions (Appendix I ) it should be used only as a guide.
Where facies development is typical , the descriptions state
"flaggy Pindoba limes tones " or " massive Laranj eiras lime
stones" , respectively .
Figure 3 3 shows the facies distribution in the principal
Turonian-Coniacian outcrop belt . Laranj eiras limes tones
are the dominant facies , whereas Pindoba limes tones are
concentrated in two maj or, possibly continuous areas in the
lower Turonian, between Tabua de Baixo-Mundo Novo
and Madre de Deus and between Pindoba and C aieira
C anabrava, respectively (for names , see Appendix 3 ) . There
are smaller areas at Mucuri, Estiva-Santa C ruz, Socorro,
C aj aiba and Sapucari ( cf. C ampbell, Guedes & Silva in

on the map are relatively com mon in the upper Turonian
and Coniacian areas . In the lower Turonian, between Sao
Pedro and Bumburum, there is a wide belt composed entire
ly of Laranj eiras limes tones .
The boundary between the Riachuelo and Cotinguiba for

mations has for long been the subj ect of discussion and of
different interpretations . The most widely accepted con
cept is that a hiatus accounts for all or a maj or part of the
Cenomanian. The boundary has mostly been described as a
simple disconformity although some authors have suggested
an angular unconformity (Leonardos 1 949; Tibana 1 969) .
Campbell ( in Conselho Nacional do Petr61eo 1 948a: 1 43 )
favoured a gradational contact. None o f these arguments
have been backed by adequate des cription or photographs.
This lack of documentation is apparently because, in spite of
a large num ber of ou tcrops, there is no section exposing the
contact between the forrnations .
I n internal reports of Petrobras (see p . 25) , an angular
unconformity was reported by Chaves and by Simiies &
Laier, based upon two localities. Together with I . A. Simoes,
in 1 9 7 7 , I visited one of these, an exposure on a tidal flat
sou th of the farm Praia near Maruim ( 1 00 m sou theas t of
locality Praia 3 herein) , but unfortunately it had become
covered with mangroves and mud . At the time of Petrobras'
mapping ten years earlier, clear discordance of strike and
dip between the oolitic limestones ( Maruim Member of the
Riachuelo Formation) and the overlying Cotinguiba lime
s tones could be observed ( I . A. Simiies, Aracaj u , personal
communication 1 97 7 ) . However, s trike and dip along the
forrnational contact are highly variable, and there is little
support for a regional unconformity. The angular unconform
ity at Praia may be only a local fea ture produced through
slumping or other deformational mechanisms ( cf. Figs .
1 5- 1 6) in response to movements in the floor of the basin.
At the upper Turonian locality Pilar 9 , there is a marked
intraformational discordance ( Fig. 34) , without lithological
change or other evidence for a true angular unconformity. A
penecontemporaneous origin is the most likely explanation
also in this case. For the Riachuelo-Cotinguiba boundary,
until a convincing angular unconformity is documented
from a series of sections, a disconformable forrnational con-

tact, albeit locally discordant, appears j ust as probable.

The Riachuelo-Cotinguiba hiatus in some areas appar
ently comprised the entire C enomanian, whereas in other
areas sedimentation was more or less continuous throughout
the C enomanian. Unfortunately, the region where the Ceno
manian is best developed, the Japaratuba area ( cf. Fig. 8) , is
also s tructurally complex. Where the limited thicknesses of
the Cenomanian are not due to hiatuses , they are explained
by a comparatively low sedimentation rate .
The published geological map of the Sergipe Basin ( Rich
ter & Si moes 1 9 75) is based mainly on air photo mapping.
The contact between the Riachuelo and Cotinguiba forma
tions is normally clearly visible on air photographs, and
differences in geomorphology and drainage patterns are suf
ficiently great to allow accurate mapping both of the forma
tions and their members (L A. Simoes, personal communi
cation 1 97 7 ) . However, on outerop scale it is often impossi
ble to refer the rocks wi th certain ty to one or the other
formation . For example, the limestones of the Taquari
Member are a com mon lithology also in the Cotinguiba
Formation, and , conversely, certain " typical" Cotinguiba
lithologies occur within the Taquari Member. In practice,
many field geologists use characteristic fossils to separate the
two formations. Although not strietly in line with the Interna
tional Stratigraphic Guide ( Hedberg 1 976) , recognition of fos
sils as part of lithostratigraphical units is common field
practice ( e . g . , Lawson 1 979) .
Most of the C enomanian rocks studied in outerop cannot
be ascribed directly to a particular formation as defined by
Schaller ( 1 970) . Besides "ordinary" limestones, common
C enomanian lithologies include dolomites, quartziferous
limes tones and dolomites, limes tone conglomerates and other
reworked sediments indicative of shallow-water environ
ments . Some oolites, pisolites and oncolitic limestones at the
formational boundary ( Fig. 3 5 ) may also extend into the
C enomanian; however, lack of diagnostic fossils in the mate
rial available hinders reliable dating of these rocks .
Where the typical shallow-water deposits overlie an un
conformity, they constitute the basal beds of a depositional

cycle. Therefore, in an internal Petrobras report on the

Estancia area, Ponte, Abreu & Nery (see p. 25) took the
quartziferous limes tones and dolomites which occur below
typical Cotinguiba limestones , and which res t on basement

guiba Formation . This agrees with the description of the

formation given by C ampbell ( in Conselho Nacional do
Petr61eo 1 948a: 1 44) and was followed by C haves in his map
report ( see p . 25) for similar beds in the C umbe and C arm6polis areas ( although here underlain by Albian rocks) . How
ever, in subsequent mapping of the latter area, Si moes &
Bandeira ( 1 969) regarded the shallow-water sediments as
the top of the Riachuelo regressive sequence. This reflects
the new lithostratigraphical system introduced by Petro
bras ( S challer 1 970) , when the full extent and litho
logical variation of the C enomanian exposed at surface
were apparently s till unknown. Unfortunately, Schaller' s
( 1 970:5 1 , 5 3 ) descriptions of the mem bers of the Riachuelo
and Cotinguiba formations lack enough detail to account for
the full range of C enomanian lithologies. Bandeira ( 1 9 7 8 : 3 6 ,
39, 4 5 ) now recognizes siliciclastic influx b o t h in t h e upper
Riachuelo Foramation ( Maruim and Aguilhada members)
and the basal Cotinguiba Formation ( S apucari Member) .

I t is likely that the shallow-water deposits, in particular
the reworked and quartziferous beds, represent the basal
beds of the Cotinguiba depositional cycle which in most
areas was initiated in the C enomanian. However, scarcity
of diagnostic foss ils in these lithologies makes dating dif
ficult. For example, the quartziferous beds in the Japaratuba
area are dated as C enomanian only through their close
association with rocks of undoubted Cenomanian age. To
unravel the lithostratigraphical relationships much more
work is needed, including a detailed integrated s tudy of
exposures and available core material spann ing the upper
most Albian to lowermost Turonian sequence. lf there is no
sharp lithological break between the Riachuelo and Cotin
guiba depositional cycles, the formational boundary will be
arbitrary . I n this case, Schaller' s ( 1 970) " boundary" ap

erates, oolites, pisolites and oncolitic limes tones would be

long to the Maruim Member; if dolomitized, to the Agui
Ihada Member; and more or less pure limes tones would be
referred to the C otinguiba Formation ( Sapucari Member) .
There are local, minor variations, such as the dolomitic
lower Turonian in the japaratuba area (localities japara
tuba 1 -9) .
Because of the difficulty in ascribing the C enomanian
s hallow-water sediments to a particular formation, in the
locality descriptions some of these sediments are provisional
ly referred to as " Riachuelo-Cotinguiba formation" ( cf.
Hedberg 1 97 6 : 38 ) ; however, in the Estancia area the f'ntire
sequence is referred to the Cotinguiba Formation (see p. 47) .
Discontinuities in the Turonian and Coniacian

As discussed above, the C enomanian record IS far from
complete, although locally parts of the stage may be well

represented . For the Turonian and Coniacian, a more com

plete sequence can be expected, in view of the much greater
thicknesses for these s tages. Since Maury ' s ( 1 930) concept of
a Turonian and a Maastrichtian sequence was discarded,
the modem concept of the C otinguiba Formation has gener
ally been of a continuous sedimentary sequence from the late
Cenomanian or early Turonian up to the (early) Coniacian .
However, despite the great thicknesses, there are a large
number of discontinuities .
Various stages in the formation of hardgrounds, as de
scribed by Kennedy & Garrison ( 1 975) from the English
C haIk, can be recognized in the Turonian and Coniacian of
Sergipe: omission surfaces ( Fig. 36) , nodular limes tones ( cf.
Figs . 20 and 30) , intraformational conglomerates (or breccias)
( Figs . 37-38) , and incipient hardgrounds . Such discontinu
ity surfaces are concentrated to certain portions of the se
quence. For example, in 20 m of lower Turonian exposed
in quarry Retiro 1 5, five discontinuity surfaces were

observed , two of which are underlain by brecciated or co

quinoid limestone (Figs . 36-3 7 ) . The latter lithologies are
commonly easily noted in the lield since they tend to form
features in outcrop, due to their high er resistance to erosion
than the adj acent limes tones ( Fig. 38) . They occur through-
out the Turonian-Coniacian ( Fig. 3 3 ) but have not been

found in the upper Turonian (for details , see locality de
scriptions, Appendix I ) . Nearby occurrences along s trike
may represent the same bed, e.g. Pedra Furada 1 5- Pedra
Furada 1 9-Pedra Furada 1 3 , and possibly Ribeira 3Ribeira 1 7-Retiro 1 5 . However, the lateral extent, or per
haps even regional ( cf. Kennedy & Garrison 1 97 5 : 364-365 ) ,
i s a s yet unknown.
With the exception of Pedra Branca 1 7 , the conglomerate
and breccia beds were not found in association with slump
s tructures . The most probable mode of formation is through
submarine erosion of early lithilied, perhaps nodular, lime
stones ( cf. Kennedy & Garrison 1 9 7 5 : 3 30-3 34) . There is as
yet no proof of regression with emergence in Sergipe during
the Turonian-early Coniacian. The numerous breaks in
sedimentation, even where evidenced by thick conglomer
ates or breccias , appear to be of less biostratigraphical sig
nificance than the breaks noted in the C enomanian.

The Riachuelo Formation has long been known for its rich
macrofaunas, although much remains to be studied. The
Cotinguiba Formation was generally considered less fossili
ferous, locally even barren, and therefore received com para
tively little attention. However, it is now evident that the
Cotinguiba Formation also contains an impressive macro
fauna. Despite the large number of localities collected in this
study, parts of the Cenomanian-Coniacian sequence are
still unknown . Some of the ammonites were found at only
one or two localities; this highlights the need for continued
biostratigraphical work in the basin.
Ammonites , bivalves, gastropods and echinoids occur
abundantly at many leveis, although not everywhere in
association. Larger invertebrate speeies are normally con-

fined to the Laranj eiras facies, whereas smaUer forms are

more abundant in, though not restricted to, the Pindoba
facies or intermediate bedding types. Other invertebrate
groups are scarce or rare . Nautiloids are com mon only in the
lower C enomanian, belemnites and rudists are lacking, and
a single brachiopod was found ( an upper Turonian lingu
Iid) . Corals and bryozoans are rare, claws of the crustacean
Callianassa are 10caUy abundant, but entire carapaces are
rare. A few stramentid cirripedes were found, attached to
ammonite mould s . Serpulids are common at certain leveis;
sponges were not found. Burrows of the Planolites type are
the dominant trace fossils.
Vertebrates are 10caUy common; fish vertebrae, teeth and
other remains, as weU as a few entire fish skeletons , were
found . Reptilian remains are rare.
The microfacies analysis carried out by Pierre-Yves
Berthou ( Paris, France) on material from almost aU localities
sampled demonstrates an abundant but rather monotonous
microfauna, including some biostratigraphicaUy important
forms identifiable in thin section (see pp. 49-50) . Extraction of
microfossils from lithified material - most of the material
available - is commonly very diilicult or impossible. There
fore, complementary sampling from marly and clayey inter
calations at localities weU dated by ammonites is needed to
obtain suilicient material for detailed micropalaeontological
zonation.
Stage boundaries and subdivisions

Cretaceous chronostratigraphy is currently in a s tate of flux,
as a result of the recent boom in research on Cretaceous
biostratigraphy and accumulation of enormous amounts of
new information on both the classical areas and on previous
ly unexplored areas . Recent reviews of problems of midd le
C retaceous biostratigraphy are given for ammonites by
Hancock & Kennedy ( 1 98 1 ) and for inoceramids by Troger
( 1 98 1 ) .
Due to the lack of international agreement on stage
boundaries and subdivisions , conventional names of sub
s tages (e.g. Lower, Middle and Upper Turonian) and even
s tages cannot be used indiscriminate!y. Therefore, names of
substages are here consistently us ed in an in formal sen se, as
indicated by the lower-case initial letter of the modifier.
For a working subdivision of the Cenomanian-Coniacian
of Sergipe, the ammonite succession provides the best means
from the material available. The various ammonite units
recognized are designated simply by s tage and a qualifying
num ber instead of by names of taxa, thereby s tressing the
provisional character of the units. A formal and more de
tailed biostratigraphical system will follow when taxonomic
work on relevant faun as ( and floras) is completed. The
systematic names listed are in many cases tentative and
liable to be altered during the taxonomic work.
The stage boundaries are defined here as follows :
Albian-Cenomanian boundary: Base of assemblage with
Graysonites lo;:oi Y oung, Sharpeiceras laticlavium ( Sharpe) , Sto
lic;:kaia (Shumarinaia) aJricana ( Pervinquiere) , Hypoturrilites
gravesianus (d' Orbigny) , Mariella s p . , etc. ( Cenomanian 1
herein ) .

There is re!atively little disagreement over the Turonian

Coniacian boundary, whereas the Cenomanian-Turonian
boundary is currently in hot debate, as discussed at some
length by Hancock & Kennedy ( 1 98 1 ) and Wright & Ken
nedy ( 1 98 1 ) for the classical areas of southeastern England
and north western France . It may be appropriate to point out
that the Paravascoceras hartti assemblage of Sergipe, as used
here, contains scattered Euomphaloceras (Kanabiceras) aff. sep
temseriatum ( Cragin) . Some workers might prefer to date this
assemblage as latest Cenomanian and place the stage
boundary at the base of the assemblage with Watinoceras
spp . , etc. ( Turonian 2 herein) . In Sergipe the latter leve!
displays a much more pronounced faunal (and also lithologi
cal) shift than the base of the Paravascoceras hartti assemblage .
.
lf the base of the Watinoceras spp. assemblage were chosen as
the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary, the age of the classi
cal Bom Jesus locality with Paravascoceras hartti and "Pseud
aspidoceras pedroanum" ( P. Jooteanum) would change from

Tetragonites, Eogaudryceras and Phylloceras. Sharpeiceras florencae
( Spath) and Forbesiceras brundretti (Young) occur sparsely .
The more abundant bivalves include Liopistha alta (Roemer) .
The echinoid fauna is diverse with common Cardiaster cuben
sis Jackson, Holeetypus cenomanensis Gueranger, Salenia rugosa
d' Archiac and Salenia petalifera Desmarest, and less common
Cottaldia benettiae ( Konig) , Holaster aff. bisehoffi ( Renevier) ,
Salenia scutigera (von Miinster) and Glyphocyphus radiatus
( Honinghaus) ? No inoceramids have been found. The unit
is of early Cenomanian age.
bivalves include Plicatula auressensis Coquand and Neithea

hispanica ( d ' Orbigny) . The gastropod fauna is dominated by
Ringinella pinguiseula White and TurritelIa (Haustatar) earrego
;:ica Maury; Pteroeera (Dicroloma?) aff. decussata (Zekeli) and
Chenopus (Drepanoehilus) aff. eostae ( C hoffat) also occur. Phy
mosoma riograndensis Maury dominates the echinoid fauna
with Cottaldia benettiae ( Konig) , Pseudodiadema cf. macropygus
Cotteau and Psammeehinus sp. as subordinate elemen ts. The
unit is of middle or late C enomanian age .
Cenomanian
Characterized by Euomphaloceras (Kanabiceras) septemseriatum

lense (Woods) . lnoceramus (1.) pie/us Sowerby and I. (I.) /enui
striatus Nagao & Matsumoto are the dominant inoceramids .
Most other bivalves and gas tropods persist from Cenomanian

Sharpe, E. (Rhynehostreon) columba ( Lamarek) , E. africana
( Lamarck) , Plieatula auressensis Coquand and the gastropods
Ringinella pinguiscula White, TurntelIa (Haus/a/or) earrego;:ica
Maury and Pteroeera (Dicroloma?) aff. deeussata ( Zekeli ) . Phy
mosoma riograndense Maury, Holaster aff. bisehoffi ( Renevier)
and Salenia sp. characterize the echinoid fauna, and the first
Hemiaster jaeksoni Maury appear. The unit is of latest C eno
mani an age, taking the definition of the Cenomanian-Tur

Turonian
Turonian
Characterized by Paravaseoeeras hartti ( Hyatt) , typical Pseud

aspidoeeras footeanum ( Stoliczka) ( P. pedroanum ( White) ) and
abundant pseudotissotiines such as Pseudotissotia nigeriensis
plana Barber, P. gabonensis Lombard, Wrightoeeras sp. and
Thomasites sp. Vascoceras? globosum ( Reyment) and species of
Mitonia and Nannovaseoceras occur locally. I noceramids are
sparse and include Mytiloides sp. of the M. submytiloides
( Seitz) group, and M. mytiloides ( Mantell) . Other bivalves
recorded are Psilomya ligeriensis ( d ' Orbigny) , Astarte similis
Miinster, and Pseudolimea interplicasa ( Stoliczka) . Among the
gastropods , Chenopus (Helieaulax) subgibbosus Pervinquiere
and Piestochilus (Cryptorhytis) cf. thevestensis (Coquand) are
characteristic. The predominant echinoid is Hemiasterjacksoni
Maury. The unit is of earliest Turonian age taking the
definition of the C enomanian-Turonian boundary given on
p. 43.

Cenomanian 2
C haracterized by fairly large acanthoceratid ammonites,
notably Aeompsoeeras spathi Basse, A. aff. renevieri ( Sharpe) ,
Dunveganoeeras sp. and Euomphaloceras (E.) meridianale ( S to
liczka) . Species of Forbesiceras, Calycoeeras and Turrilites occur
locally . Bivalves include Exogyra (Costagyra) olisiponensis
Sharpe and Eriphyla (Do::yia) lenticularis ( Goldfuss) ; inocera
mids have not been found. A middle C enomanian age is
inferred for the unit.
Cenomanian 3
This assemblage contains the ammonites Aeanthoeeras aff.
jukesbrownei ( Spath) , Euealyeoeeras pentaganum O ukes-Browne) ,
Pseudocalyeoeeras harpax ( Sharpe) , Thomelites aff. sornayi (Tho

siines. Inoceramids are rare; Inoceramus eapulus Moreman
appears to be restricted to the unit. Exogyra (Costagyra)
olisiponensis Sharpe, E. (Rhynehostreon) eolumba ( Lamarck) and
E. afrieana ( Lamarck) are common, locally abundant; other
Turonian 2
More diverse ammonite fauna than the previous assem
blage, with Watinoceras amudariense (Arkhangel 'skij ) , W. jaekeli
( Solger) , Neoptyehites cephalotus (Courtiller) , Kamerunoceras
seit;:i ( Riedel ) , and various species of Coilopoceras and Hopli
toides ( e . g . , H. ingens (von Koenen) and H. gibbosulus (von
Biostratigraphy

loradoense (Henderson) , W. guentherti Reyment, other speeies
of Watinoceras, Benueites? s p . , Pachydesmoceras s p . , and hamitids
occur in lesser numbers . Scarce Romaniceras deverianum (d' Or
bigny) occur low in the unit, and Spathites (Spathites) sp. is
rare at the base. A distinctive fauna characterized by Mam
mites nodosoides ( S chlii ter) , Kamerunoceras turoniense (d ' Or
bigny) , Fagesia bomba Eck and F. involuta Barber occurs in the
midd le of the unit. Mammites nodosoides continues to the top of
the unit. Mitonia reesidei ( Maury ) , apparently different from
the Mitonia of Turonian 1, dominates the ammonite fauna
locally. Common inoceramids include Mytiloides labiatus (von
Schlotheim) , M. opalensis (Base ) , M. mytiloides ( Mantell) , M.
aff. hercynicus ( Petrascheck) and M. subhercynicus Seitz. Spe
eies of Sergipia are sparse throughout, whereas Inoceramus (l.)
cuvieri Sowerby and "Sphenoceramus " spp. appear restricted to
certain leveis. Besides inoceramids, the rich bivalve fauna of
this unit also includes Protocardia pauli (Coquand ) , Pholado
mya aff. esmarki Nilsson, Psilomya ligeriensis (d'Orbigny ) , Lio
p istha alta (Roemer) , Astarte similis Miinster and Pseudolimea
interplieosa ( S toliczka) . Gastropods include A mpullospira
(Amauropsis) bulbiformis (Sowerby) , Chenopus (Helicaulax) sub
gibbosus Pervinquiere, Voluta (Aulica) aff. cretacea Coquand ,
Mesorhytis cf. renauxianus (d'Orbigny) and Pterocera (Dicro
loma?) aff. decussata ( Zekeli) . Hemiaster jacksoni Maury is local
ly abundant and almost totally dominates the echinoid fau
na. The unit probably corresponds to a maj or part of the
Turonian.

hamitids occur sparsely, and the only baculitids in Sergipe

but include Pseudolimea interplieosa ( Stoliczka) and large spe

Peter Bengtson: Cenomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe
Fig. 40. Generalized Cenomanian-Coniacian succession of the Sergipe Basin, with figures of selected, diagnostic ammonite genera (NB:
not necessarily the most abundant forms). The profile comprises the
Sapucari Member of the Cotinguiba Formation and is based primarily on sections from the Itaporanga (lower-middle Cenomanian),
Japaratuba (middle Cenomanian-lower Turonian) and Laranjeiras-Socorro (lower Turonian-lower Coniacian) areas. Vertical scale
is approximate. Figures of ammonites show actual specimens or are
composed of restored specimens. Predominant size ranges for adult
specimens (0) are given in cm.
sia sp. Thee are sparse Heterotissotia s p . , Hauericeras antiquum

C oUignon, Harleites s p . , Bostrychoceras indicum ( S toliczka) , Per
oniceras spp . , Anagaudryceras buddha (Forbes ) , Prionocycloceras
gaudryi (Boule, Lemoine & Thevenin) , Hypophylloceras s p . ,
Otoscaphites s p . , Barroisiceras (Basseoceras) sp., hamitids and
doubtful Reginaites and Gauthiericeras. A single Damesites is
reported in the literature. The inoceramid fauna is diverse,
characterized by Mytiloides striatoconcentricus (Gi.imbel) , M.
dresdensis ( Troger) , M. fiegei (Troger) , M. lusatiae (Andert) ,
Cremnoceramus? waltersdorfensis (Andert ) , C. ? rotundatus (Fiege)
and Inoceramus winkholdioides Andert. The genus Didymotis,
represented primarily by D. aff. variabilis (Gerhardt) , is an
easily recognizable marker for the Coniacian. Severai non
inoceramid bivalves and gastropods persist from the Turon
ian. Characteristic components of the unit are the bivalves
Pinna sp. and Liopistha (Psilomya) supermensa White. The most
com mon gastropods are Tylostoma spp . ; Aporrhais sp. and Fusus
sp. are also found. Hemiaster jacksoni Maury remains domi
nant among the echinoids . The unit is early Coniacian and
possibly even comprises a maj or part of the Coniacian.
Practical application of the subdivision

The subdivision presented here for the Cenomanian
C oniacian sequence of Sergipe is based primarily on am
mani te genera, as iJIustrated in Fig. 39. Many of these
genera are common, weU distributed within their respective
units and easily identifiable. Figure 40 shows a schematic
composite section for the basin , with figures of selected,
diagnostic genera. The ammonite subdivision, as presented
in this diagram, can be used as a convenient instrument for
bro ad dating in the field . By contras t, biozonation systems
based on successions of species , although normally provid
ing more detail ed stratigraphy, require the user to have
considerable taxonomic experience, and species determina
tions of unprocessed material are not always possible.
The biostratigraphical map (Appendix 3 ) shows the ap
proximate geographical distribution of the various ammonite
units .
The Estancia area

South of the Sergipe Basin sensu stricio, in the area of Estan
cia, there is a narrow belt of marine Cretaceous deposits
( Fig. 2 ) . This area constitutes a s tructural high, outside the
fault-bounded marginal basin. It is bordered to the north
east by the I taporanga Fault and to the northwest there is
probably an erosional boundary ( cf. Oj eda & Fugita 1 9 76,
Figs . 1 7- 1 8) . The area is commonly referred to in the litera
ture as the "Estancia platform " . Due to its separation from
the main outcrop area of C enomanian-Coniacian in Sergipe
( Fig. 2 ) , it is not induded in the principal map (Appendix 3)
but is discussed separately here.
The C retaceous of the Estancia area comprises some 500
m of sediments ( Henao Londono 1 958; Petrobras borehole
2-PE-IA-SE, 9 km SW of the I t aporanga Fault and I km
from the coast, contained 6 1 m of Piac;:abuc;:u and 1 55 m of
Cotinguiba sediments resting on Proterozoic(?) basement:

exposed because of a thick cover of Barreiras deposits. How
ever, from some localities, fairly rich fossil coUections have
been described ( e . g . , Santa Luzia, So Gonc;:alo, Tiburcio) .
Petrobras geological maps ( F . C . Ponte, W . S . de Abreu & G.
G. Nery 1 964: Geologia da parte sul da bacia sedimentar de
Sergipe; map sheets 72 1 -3-3, 722-4- 1 and 7 22-4-4. Relatdrio
No . 331, Petrobrds) indicate 3 1 localities in the area. With the
exception of the old quarries of the sEtia Tiburcio near the
Riacho Biriba, almost all outcrops are of minor extent,
temporary and generally diilicult of access. There are no
working quarries . ane of the maj o r outcrop areas , the Tibur
cio area, became omitted from the published geological map
of the basin ( Richter & Sim6es 1 97 5 , sheet SC . 24-Z-D- I - 3
Esrancia) . Figure 4 1 shows p a r t o f t h e Estancia area with the
few localities located during a preliminary survey in 1 9 7 7 .
The exact age o f the C retaceous o f the Estancia area was
previously not definitely established . The ammonite collect
ed from the area and described as an Albian Metenganaceras
(Brito 1 96 7 ) is so poorly preserved that generic assignment
appears infeasible. The abundance of Exagyra at Sitio Tibur
cio led K . Beurlen ( 1 9 7 0 : 2 5 3 ) to postulate a C enomanian
age. This is now confirmed through a find there of the
ammonite Thomelites s p . , which gives a definite late Ceno
manian age ( unit Cenamanian 3 herein) to these beds .
For the rest of the Estancia area a thorough investigation
is needed , but Iithological similarity together with bivalve
and gastropod faunas suggest that the whole sequence may
be late C enomanian (and early Turonian?) . This would
correspond to the period of global eustatic rise which
reached its maximum in the earliest Turonian (Hancock &
Kauffman 1 9 79: 1 8 1 ) ; this transgression covered many areas
not previously inundated . There are lithological similarities
to C enomanian rocks of the Japaratuba area, for example
the dolomitic limestone of Biriba I , as discussed on pp.
39-40.
K. Beurlen ( 1 9 7 0 : 2 5 3 , 1 9 7 I a:94) named the C retaceous
sequence of the Estancia area "Tiburcio Beds" and "Ti bur
cio Formation" . Sandstones , eonglomerates, oys ter beds
and other evidence of shallow-water environments are
common in these beds, which I consider as basal in a late
C enomanian-early Turonian depositional cyde and there
fore a local facies of the Cotinguiba Formation ( cf. p. 40) .
Similar shallow-water deposits oeeur at the base of the
Cotinguiba Formation in the main outerop area, and there is
no reason to maintain a loeal lithostratigraphical name in
the Esraneia area for this faeies development. The oeeur
rence of Riaehuelo sediments under the C otinguiba beds, as
suggested by Oj eda & Fugita ( 1 976, Fig. 1 7 ) , is not support
ed by available data.
Discussion
The lithostratigraphieal results from this work are essential
ly of loeal importance. By contrast, the biostratigraphical
data on the Sergipe sequences have immediate bearing on
eurrent international work towards refined biozonation of

the Cretaceous . It would be premature to draw far-reaching

conclusions before detailed systematic s tudy of the biostrati
graphically important material, but a few observations can
nevertheless be made.
Subdivision of the seq uence

Eight ammonite "assemblages" are readily recognizable in
the Cenomanian to Coniacian of Sergipe. For a reasonably
complete C enomanian-Coniacian sequence, at least twice as
many biozones can be anticipated (Hancock & Kennedy
1 98 1 ) .
The subdivision of the Cenomanian i s based on fewer
sections and a smaller geographical area than that of the
Turonian-Coniacian . For the C enomanian, the I taporanga
( Cenomanian 1) and Japaratuba ( Cenomanian 2- Cenomanian 4)
areas are used. The order of the units Cenomanian 1 to
Cenomanian 3 is based more on comparison with ammonite
successions in other parts of the world than on observed field
relationships . It is likely that large parts of the Cenomanian
are not represented in the subdivision, either due to lack of
exposure or to non-sequences . In the course of systematic
work, detailed comparison with other Tethyan areas will be
required to place the ammonites of Sergipe in their correct
biostratigraphical position.
I n the Turonian, and to some extent in the Coniacian,
there are assemblages of ammonites which occur at on ly a
few localities or in a very restricted area. Some of these
faunas are nearly monospecific and therefore very difficult to
place in the s tratigraphical framework. A Mitonia fauna
found at Pindoba 2 , Pedra Branca 8, Pedra Furada 1 7 , and
Boa Luz I I and 1 2 appears younger than that at Laranj eiras
1 4, Boa Sorte 14 and Sergipe 5 , but the lack of associated
elements from the former group of localities prevents definite
correlation at this stage. Another distinct but more diverse
fauna of s mall ammonites is found in Turonian 2 at Pedra
Furada 1 3 , Ribeira 6, Santa C ruz 8, Pindoba 5, and Lom
bada 1 2 . Locality Ilhas 6, geographically in the middle of
unit Turonian 3, contains an ammonite fauna notably differ
ent from the Subprionocyclus association which characterizes
the unit. In the Coniacian, the Barroisiceras fauna is well
developed only at Mata 9 and 1 0. Similarly, the large pero n
iceratines recorded at the isolated Laj es I were not found
elsewhere in the area, so that their stratigraphical position
within the Coniacian remains uncertain.
The faunal boundaries between units are sharp, even at
generic level, with the exception of Cenomanian 4- Turonian 1 ,
where there is some overlapping of genera. However, the
appearance of abundant pseudotissotiines in combination
with Paravascoceras hartti and typical Pseudaspidoceras footeanum
clearly defines the base of Turonian 1. The Cenomanian 4- Tur
onian 1 ammonite boundary also coincides with a significant

change in the bivalve and gastropod faunas . However,

where Cenomanian 4 and Turonian 1 are in contact, sedimenta
tion seems more or less continuous. The sharp faunal shifts
between subdivisions at other levels are probably due to
gaps in the sequence (except, possibly, the Turonian 3- Coniac
ian 1 boundary) .
In future refinement of the biozonation, subdivisions Ceno
manian 2 and Coniacian 1 will be further subdivided . In the
former, Acompsoceras and Dunveganoceras form distinctive as
semblages, although their exact relationship has yet to be
determined . I n Coniacian 1, Prionocycloceras, Barroisiceras and
Solgerites characterize separate assemblages, s tratigraphical
ly probably in that order. In the thick Turonian 2 subdivision,
biozones will probably be based on species of Watinoceras or
coilopoceratids; both groups occur in sufficient numbers and
diversity to be useful as biostratigraphical tools . The appear
ance of Mammites nodosoides may be a good basis for defini tion
of a biozone.
Although this study is centred on ammonite biostrati
graphy, it will probably be possible to establish an equally
refined biozonation based on inoceramids . Preliminary ino
ceramid determinations show very good agreement with the
ammonite s tratigraphy . Other macrofossil groups appear
controlled more by environment than time, although indi
vidual genera or species may be of biostratigraphical value.
For example, abundance of Exogyra indicates middle or up
per C enomanian, by analogy with other Tethyan areas.
Diversity of echinoids also indicates C enomanian age in
Sergipe, although the generally shallower environment dur
ing this age probably played an important role. The relative
abundance of each fossil group has been recorded at each
locality for studies of the depositional environments .
As mentioned on pp. 42-43, there is some correlation
between lithofacies and fossil con tent, mainly in size of the
macrofossils . This complicates biostratigraphical correlation
in areas of heterogeneous facies development and especially
with facies extremes . Very few levels are devoid of biostrati
graphically useful fossils, although diagnostic material can be
hard to obtain at some leveis .
The results of microfacies analysis carried out on the
Cotinguiba material will be published elsewhere ( by P.-Y.
Berthou & P . Bengtson) , although a few significant stratigra
phical implications are discussed here. In some cases, bio
stratigraphically useful microfossils can be identified in thin
section. I n addition , lithostratigraphical correlation over
short distances, especially if supported by faunal similarities,
often approximates to biostratigraphical correlation . Using
microfacies analysis within the framework of ammonite
units, four main groups of microfacies are recognized in the
C enomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe:
Cenomanian. - Relatively coarse-grained microfacies with 10cally abundant faunal debris ( echinoids , Saccocoma s p . , Hed
bergella s p . , Heterohelix s p . , Pithonella s p . , s ponge spicules,
etc. ) . Local extraclasts and oncoliths.
Lower Turonian. - Microfacies with less faunal debris than
the previous group. Pellets, Pithonella s p . , Heterohelix sp. and
rare sponge spicules . C alcispheres common .
Upper Turonian . - Peloidal microfacies with very rare macro
faunal debri s . Calcispheres abundant. Pithonella sp. and
sponge spicules common .

belt from ca. 3 k m to practically nothing. Field measure

ments show that strike and dip variations alone cannot
account for these considerable changes, nor is there any field
evidence for large-scale faults ( cf. pp. 3 1 - 3 2 ) . Strongly vari
able rates of sedimentation across small dis tances form the
most probable explanation; this accords with the postulated ,
continued movements of the basin floor, causing frequent
facies changes and pro babl y also breaks in sedimentation .
The Cenomanian subdivisions are exposed in limited
areas . Especially in the Japaratuba area, they are difficult to
represent on the map because of irregular outcrop pattern
produced by complex s tructural relationships . In the I tapo
ranga area (sensu lato) , only Cenomanian 1 and Cenomanian 2
seem to be present, in the C umbe area only Cenomanian 4 has
been proved, and in the Japaratuba area the lower Ceno
manian ( Cenomanian 1) is apparently missing or perhaps not
exposed .
In a few areas, subdivision assignment is equivocal due to
lack of diagnostic fossils ; these areas are designated only as
Cenomanian ( e . g . , Sergipe and Canabrava areas ) .
Among the biostratigraphically more important sections
in the Japaratuba area are jardim 1 9 and 2 2 and Japaratuba
1 1 - 1 2 , which span the Cenomanian 3- Cenomanian 4 and Ceno
manian 4- Turonian 2 intervals , respectively . These sections
are locally extremely fossiliferous and suitable for detailed
study of the controversial C enomanian-Turonian boundary.
It is possible that also section Magalhaes 8 straddles the
Cenomanian 4- Turonian 1 boundary, but confirmation of this
must await full taxonomic treatment of the faunas . Other
sections spann ing the Turonian 1- Turonian 2 transition should
be taken into account, i . e . C ruzes 1 7 and Rita C acete 4
( southeast of I taporanga) . C ruzes 1 7 , in particular, is very
fossiliferous and prornising for further s tudy . Apart from the
few localities mentioned, the only locality where more than
one subdivision is definitely present is Praia 9 , south of
Maruim; however, at this locality most of the Cenomanian
appears to be missing.
A small number of microfossils were iden tified to species

during microfacies analysis . The foraminifer Hemicyclammina
sigali Maync is of particular s tratigraphical interest as it is
generally considered not to pass the C enomanian-Turonian
boundary . The al ga Heteroporella lepina Praturlon is also bio
stratigraphically useful since it sugges ts an age not younger
than early Turonian.
Ostracodes and nannofossils are as yet little studied in the
Sergipe material, and palynomorphs are rarely well pre
served in outcrop samples . These microfossil groups, along
with foraminifers, have been employed extensively by Petro
bras in biostratigraphical zonation of subsurface material,
and palynomorphs especially have yielded good resolution
( Fig. 4 2 ; cf. Fig. 5B) . However, the microfossil resolution
appears far less detailed than the subdivision expected
from ammonites and inoceramids . The aim is to establish an
in tegrated biozonation in which all biostratigraphically use
ful groups are included .
The biostratigraphical map

Base data for the biostratigraphical map (Appendix 3) have
been compiled as explained on pp. 2 7-30. The geographical
distribution of the subdivisions bas ed on ammonites is
traced on the map. In areas of widely spaced outcrops,
boundaries between units are inferred . In areas with no or
very few outcrops, boundaries are omitted . I t will be noted
from the locality index (Appendix 2 ) that a few localities are
possibly of Albian age ( cf. p . 2 5 ) .
Across only 25 km, from Benj amim Constant-Pati to
Lombada, the width of the ou tcrop belt of the Cotinguiba
Formation changes from 1 2 km to less than 2 km. Particular
ly conspicuous is the red uction in the Turonian 3- Coniacian 1
Summa ry
Only in the Laranj eiras-Socorro area are all the Turon

ian-Coniacian s u bdivisions well represented in outcrop .
The basal Turonian l unit occupies a narrow belt and ap
pears locally to be missing. By contras t, Turonian 2 and
Turonian 3 occupy wide beIts across the area, although the
latter narrows considerably from Sapucari northeastwards.
The Turonian 2- Turonian 3 boundary is poorly documented
due to scarcity of outcrops in the boundary area; mos t of the
outcrops in the Santa C ruz and Pilar areas also lack diag
nostic fossils.
The Turonian 3- Coniacian l boundary deviates from region
al strike considerably in the Oiteiro-Caj aiba area, where
Coniacian l is bes t developed . This is apparently tectonic,
since there is great variation in strike (measured in the field ,
and shown on unpublished Petro bras maps and on maps by
Richter & Si moes 1 97 5 ) . Despite a fairly dense network of
localities, the precise dating of the Oiteiro area is somewhat
ambiguous . Some ammonites from Oiteiro 1 - 7 , although
dated here as Coniacian (dating supported by inoceramids ) ,
have a certain "late Turonian appearance" . Microfacies
analysis also indicates upper Turonian rather than Coniac
ian. The isolated Oiteiro 8 contains a unique, non-diagnostic
collignoniceratid fauna, albeit including a single, doubtful
Barroisiceras sp. There are no outcrops to the southwest to
provide additional avidence. However, Mata 9 and 1 0 are
definitely Coniacian, containing abundant Barroisiceras and
Forresteria followed by Solgerites, so the existence of the "Oi
teiro bulge" appears to be well established.
I n the Socorro area, the Coniacian l belt narrows consider
ably. The boundary here is well positioned through diagnos
tic ammonites . Further northeas twards the belt widens, pro
ducing a marked bulge in the Pilar- Ilhas area ( b u t probably
not including the Sapucari ou tcrops) . The upper boundary
of the Cotinguiba Formation is uncertain in this area, so the
bulge may actually be less prominent than it appears on the
map.
I n the C aieira-Laj es portion of the outcrop area, northeast
of the Sergipe River, Turonian 2 dominates the exposures .
Turonian 3 has been proved at only a few localities . Near the
Cotinguiba-PiaabUl;:u boundary, some localities which
have been dated as Turonian 2 through microfacies analysis
may actually belong to Turonian 3, for example, Boticario 2
and Buenos Aires 3 . Coniacian seems to be missing from the
area, except at the isolated outcrop Laj es I , on the boundary
with the Piaabuu Formation.
C onclusions
( I ) The C enomanian-Coniacian of the Sergipe Basin con
tains a rich ammonite fauna of essentially Tethyan ( sensu
lata ) affinity and of low endemism .
( 2 ) T h e sequence can be coarsely subdivided into eight
faunal units on the basis of easily recognizable ammonite
associations . Each unit is characterized primarily by diag
nostic genera, which makes the subdivision very useful in the
field.
(3) The ammonite subdivisions recognized correspond
Il1
51
time roughly to the early, middle, midd le-late, and late

Cenomanian, the early, early-middle, and late Turonian, and
the early and possibly also late Coniacian.
(4) Ammonites and inoceramids are particularly prornising
for detailed biostratigraphical zonation; other macroinverte
brates appear of more limited s tratigraphical value.
(5) In com bi nation with the established biostratigraphical
framework, microfacies analysis has proved valuable for
short-distance, intrabasinal correlation .
(6) The maj or part of the ou tcrop area IS occupied by
Turonian deposits, which are best developed in the Laran
j eiras-Socorro area. The C enomanian occurs patchily at the
base of the sequence, but is well developed in the Japaratuba
area. Lower C enomanian is definitely proved by ammonites
only in the I taporanga area. Coniacian occurs in a locally
narrow belt in the Quiamii- Ilhas area, and at an isolated
outcrop at Laj es .
( 7 ) The age o f the C retaceous sequence in the Esrancia area
in southern Sergipe is, at leas t in part, late C enomanian, as
established by the ammonite Thomelites.
Summary
The Sergipe Basin constitu tes the southern half of the
Sergipe-Alagoas Basin (Fig. 2 ) , which occupies the coastal
s trip and the adj acent continental margin of the two small
states ofSergipe and Alagoas in northeastern Brazil . It is one
of the many South American marginal basins ( Fig. l ) of
Atlantic type, whose counterparts are presumed to be the
West African marginal basins . In the Sergipean part of the
Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, the upper Mesozoic is fairly com
plete ( Fig. 3 ) , with only minor gaps in the marginal, onshore
areas . The middle C retaceous of Sergipe is in part well
exposed and forms an important key to understanding the
development of the South Atlantic Ocean . Although the
Sergipe sequence has been known for over a century, few
biostratigraphical s tudies have been carried out and detailed
chronostratigraphical correlation down to substage leve! in
the western South Atlantic has not so far been possible.
During the midd le Cretaceous, fol l ow ing an Aptian eva
poritic episode, marine deposition in the Sergipe Basin was
con troll ed large!y by local tectonic movements with occa
sional eustatic overprint. The sedimentary sequence in
cludes up to 1 700 m ( average 500 m) of cIastie sediments ,
limes tones (locally oolitic) and dolomites which comprise
the Riachue!o Formation, mainly of Albian age (late Ap
tian ( ? ) -Cenomanian) , and up to 1 400 m ( average 200 m) of
pure limestones and maris comprising the Cotinguiba For
mation of Cenomanian-Santonian age ( Figs . 3-4) .
A geological outline and biostratigraphical framework for
the C enomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe are given here, based
on the study of 604 surface sections in the main ou terop area
between the towns I taporanga and Japaratuba ( Fig. 8 ) , and
in the Esrancia area in the southern part of the state ( Fig.
4 1 ) . Ammonites were collected from 330 localities and pro
vide the basis for subdividing the sequence into eight "as-
52
semblages" . This subdivision is practical for field use since

the units are characterized by easily recognizable genera - a
more refined zonation of the sequence will be available after
full systematie treatment of the fossils collected . The subdi
visions are detailed on pp. 44-47, with provisional speeies
determinations for the s tratigraphically most useful macro
fossil groups.
The localities investigated are described (Appendix I ) to
enable subsequent workers to locate the sources of the mate
rial collected . Each locality is assigned to an ammonite
subdivision (Appendix 2 ) ; for localities where diagnostic
ammonites are laeking, inoceramids or other bivalves, mi
crofacies analysis, or simply geographical position of the
locality in relation to nearby, well-dated localities have been
he!pful.
As shown on the biostratigraphical map (Appendix
3 ) , the ammonite subdivisions, and entire C enomanian
Coniacian sequence, vary considerably in width over short
distances. This is a result of variable depositional conditions
and of synsedimentary and postsedimen tary movements
causing local variations in s trike and dip. The C enomanian
sequence in particular appears tectonically controlled. The
Riachuelo-Cotinguiba boundary is diachronous , and most of
the Cenomanian is apparently missing or reduced to a thin
sequence except in the Japaratuba area, where a middle
Cenomanian-Iower Turonian sequence is well developed .
Breccias , conglomerates and discontinuity surfaces in the
Turonian and Coniacian indicate numerous depositional
breaks, although the nature of these breaks requires further
study.
The Sergipe sequence cannot yet be correlated with the
mid-Cretaceous of the classical areas in western Europe
except in very broad terms . This is mainly because of the
absence or scarcity of ammonites which are biostratigraphi
cal keys in the Boreal Realm. Another factor which hinders
efficient correlation even across short distances is the lack of
international agreement on stage boundaries, subdivision
and biozonation for the midd le C retaceous.
Ammonites and inoceramids are the most useful macro
fossils for detailed biostratigraphical work in Sergipe; other
bivalves, gas tropods and echinoids are of more limited use.
Microfacies analysis is of value for short-distance, intraba
sinai correlation. The microfauna of the material collected
has largely yet to be investigated .
The much debated C enomanian-Turonian boundary is
placed here at the base of the ammonite assemblage charac
terized by appearance of abundant pseudotissotiines togeth
er with the " cIassicai" Parauascoceras hartti (Byatt) and Pseud
aspidoceras footeanum ( S toliczka) ( P. pedroanum ( White) ) .
This boundary i s faunally the least sharp of the subdivision
boundaries, and there is also lithological continuity. Thus,
the Cenomanian-Turonian transition in Sergipe appears to
be fairly continuous and therefore interesting for detailed
s tudy of the ammonite succession in this part of the Tethyan
Realm (sensu lato ) .
As well as dating the ou terop area of the Cotinguiba
Formation, the work carried out so far indicates a definite
late Cenomanian age for the Tiburcio beds in the Estancia
area, based on the ammonite Thomelites. This confirms K.
Beurlen' s ( 1 970) hypothesis from the abundance of Exogyra
in the bed s .

Resumo
A Bacia de Sergipe corresponde it metade meridional da
Bacia de Sergipe-Alagoas ( Fig. 2 ) que ocupa a faixa costeira
dos dois pequenos estados de Sergipe e Alagoas, no Nordeste
do Brasil, j unto com a margem continental adj acente. E uma
das muitas bacias marginais sul-americanas ( Fig. I ) de tipo
atUl.ntico, cuj as correspondentes presume-se serem as bacias
marginais da frica do Oeste. Na parte sergipana da Bacia
de Sergipe-Alagoas , o Mesoz6ico superior e quase com
pleto ( Fig. 3 ) , apresentando somente pequenas lacunas nas
areas marginais , no continente. O C retaceo medio de Ser
gipe e localmente bem representado em superficie e constitui
u ma seqiiencia importante para o estudo do desenvolvi
mento do Atlantico Sul. Apesar dessa seqiiencia ser con he
eida ha mais de cem anos, poucos estudos bioestratigraficos
foram realizados e ate hoj e nao foi possive! chegar a correla
r;:6es cronoestratigraficas de precisao, isto e, pelo menos em
nivel de subandar, no Atlantico sudoeste.
Durante o Cretaceo medio, ap6s um periodo evaporitico,
a sedimentar;:ao marin ha na Bacia de Sergipe foi governada
principalmente por movimentos tectonicos locais, mascara
dos por eustasia ocasional . A seqiiencia sedimentar com
preende ate I 700 m ( media de 500 m) de sedimentos cias ti
cos , calcarios e dolomitos, constituindo a Formar;:ao Ria
chuelo, cuj a idade e essencialmente albiana (neo-Aptiano ( ? )
a C enomaniano) , e a t e 1 400 m ( media de 2 0 0 m ) de calca
rios puros e margas, constituindo a Formar;:ao Cotinguiba,
de idade cenomaniana a santoniana ( Figs . 3-4) .
O trabalho em foco apresenta um resumo geol6gico e um
arcabour;:o bioestratigrafico do C enomaniano-Coniaciano
de Sergipe. Foram estudadas 604 localidades na principal
area de afloramento deste intervalo, situada entre as eidades
de I taporanga e Japaratuba ( Fig. 8) , e na Plataforma de
Estancia no sul do Estado ( Fig. 4 1 ) . De 330 localidades
foram coletados amon6ides, os quais forneceram uma base
para a subdivisao da seqiiencia em oito unidades bioestrati
grafieas ( associar;:6es ) . Sendo as unidades caracterizadas por
generos facilmente reconhedveis , es ta subdivisao torna-se
pratica para uso no campo. Um zoneamento mais detalhado
sera apresentado ap6s a devida descrir;:ao sistematiea do
material coletado. A seqiiencia esta explicada em detalhe
nas paginas 44-47, com determinar;:6es provis6rias de espe
eies dos grupos de macrof6sseis de maior interesse bio
estratigrafico.
As localidades es tudadas sao descritas (Anexo l ) com
dados que possibilitem, mesmo no futuro, a identificar;:ao da
origem do material coletado. Cada uma des tas localidades
esta tambem referida it devida unidade bioestratigrafica, ou
associar;:ao de amon6ides (Anexo 2 ) ; para a classificar;:ao das
localidades onde faltam os amon6ides diagn6sticos , foram
utilizados inoceramideos ou outros bivalvios, analise de mi
crofacies ou simplesmente a posir;:ao geografiea em relar;:ao a
localidades vizinhas bem datadas .
No mapa anexo (Anexo 3 ) ve-se que as unidades bioestra
tigraficas , bem como toda a seqiiencia cenomaniana-conia
ciana, variam consideravelmente de largura mesmo em
areas pequenas . Isso reflete condir;:6es variaveis de sedimen
tar;:ao e movimentos tanta sin-sedimentares quanto p6s-sedi
mentares, causando variar;:6es locais de atitude e mergulho
das camadas . Principalmente a seqiiencia cenomaniana pa-
rece ter sido controlada por movimentos tectonicos . O Iimite

entre as forma;:oes Riachuelo e Cotinguiba e diacronico,
faltando a maior parte do Cenomaniano ou sendo este andar
reduzido a urna seqiiencia pouco espessa. Na area de
Japaratuba, porem, ha urna seqiiencia bern desenvoivida,
abrangendo desde o C enomaniano medio ate o Turoniano
inferior. Descontinuidades e camadas de brecha (ou conglo
merado) intraformacional no Turoniano e Coniaciano indi
cam diasternas freqiientes , embora a sua natureza exij a
mel hor estudo.
A seqiiencia sergipana ainda no pode ser correlacionada
com o C retaceo medio das regioes cLissicas na Europa oci
dental, a no ser em termos muito gerais, principalmente
pela auseneia de varios amonoides que sa elementos-chave
na bioestratigrafia do Dominio Borea!. Outro fator que difi
culta a correla;:o com essa e outras regioes e a falta de um
acordo internacional sobre os limites de andares, subandares
e os zoneamentos bioestratigraficos do C retaceo medio.
Os amonoides e os inoceramideos sa os macrofosseis
mais uteis para trabalhos bioestratigraficos detalhados em
Sergipe; outros bivalvios, gasteropodos e equinoides tem uso
mais limitado, enquanto analise de microfacies tem demons
trado o seu valor para correla;:oes intrabaciais de curta
distancia. A microfauna do material coletado ainda es ta
pouco estudada.
O limite Cenomaniano-Turoniano, que atualmente es ta
sendo muito discutido, neste trabalho e definido como a base
da associa;:o caracterizada pelo aparecimento de abun
dantes pseudotissotiineos j unto com os "elassicos" Paravasco
ceras hartti (Hyatt) e Pseudaspidoceras footeanum ( Stoliczka)
( P. pedroanum ( White) ) . Este limite e, de fato, o menos
nitid o faunisticamente de todos os Iimites da subdiviso da
seqiiencia estudada. Isto, j unto com a aparente continui
dade Iitologica atraves do Iimite, sugere que a transi;:o
C enomaniano-Turoniano sej a bastante continua em Sergipe,
constituindo assim obj eto de interesse para um es tudo por
menorizado da s u cesso de amonoides nesta parte do Do
minio Tetiano (sensu Lato) .
Alem da "datao" da principal area de afloramento da
Forma;:o Cotinguiba, o trabalho realizado ate agora deu
idade definitiva as camadas de Tiburcio, na Plataforma de
Estancia. O amonoide ThomeLites indica idade neocenoma
niana, assim confirmando a hipotese de K. Beurlen ( 1 9 70) ,
que se baseou na abundancia de exogiras nas camadas.

Resume
Le bassin de Sergipe correspond a la moi tie sud du bassin de
Sergipe-Alagoas (fig. 2 ) qui occupe la fa;:ade cotiere des
deux petits etats de Sergipe et Alagoas dans le N. E . du
Bresil, et la marge continentale adj acente. C ' est I'un des
nombreux bassins marginaux de " type atlantique" de
I' Amerique du Sud dont les equivalents sont supposes etre
representes par les bassins de la cote occidentale de l'Afri
que. Le Mesozoique superieur y est relativement complet (fig.
3 ) , et I'on note seulement quelques lacunes dans les do
mai nes les plus marginaux. Le C retace moyen de Sergipe,
qui affieure bien, est important pour comprendre le develop
pement de l 'Atlantique sud. Pourtant, bien qu'il soit connu
Risume
53
depuis plus d'un sieele, peu d'etudes biostratigraphiques y

ont ete faites, et les correlations chronostratigraphiques de
taillees avec les autres regions de I' Atlantique sud n ' etaient,
j usqu'a present, pas possibles au niveau du sous-etage.
Apres un episode evaporitique a I' Aptien, les depots ma
rins du bassin de Sergipe sont controles principalement par
la tectonique locale a laquelle se surimposent parfois des
mouvements eustatiques . La serie sedimentaire marine de
bu te par la formation Riaehuelo, d'age essentiellement AI
bien (Aptien superieur ( ? ) - C enomanien) , formee de j usqu'a
I 700 m (500 m en moyenne) de depots detritiques, ooliti
ques, calcaires ou dolomitiques; a laquelle succede la forma
tion Cotinguiba (Cenomanien a Santonien) constituee de
j usqu'a l 400 m ( 200 m en moyenne) de calcaires et de
marnes (fig. 3 , 4) .
J ' ai etudie 604 localites situees dans la region principale
d' affieurement entre les villes d ' I taporanga et Japaratuba
(fig. 8) , et, pl us au Sud, dans la region d' Estancia (fig. 4 1 ) . A
partir des Ammonites provenant de 330 lieux de preleve
rnent, il m'a ete possible de definir, dans la sequence, 8
"assemblages " . Cette elassification est pratique pour le tra
vail sur le terrain, car les subdivisions sont caracterisees par
des genres facilement reconnaissables . Une zonation plus
precise sera u tilisable ulterieurement apres une etude syste
matique approfondie du materiel recolte. Les subdivisions
sont detaillees (pages 44-47 ) avec les determinations provi
soires des especes des groupes de macrofossiles ayant le plus
grand interet s tratigraphique.
Les localites sont decrites dans I' appendice l afin de
permettre aux futurs chercheurs de les retrouver. Je donne la
subdivision d'Ammonites dans laquelle je place chacune
d ' entre elles ( appendiee 2) . Pour les localites sans Ammo
nites, j ' ai utilise d' autres moyens de datation ( Inocerames,
autres bivalves, microfacies ) ou plus simplement, je me suis
refere aux positions geographiques relatives des affieure
ments les uns par rapport aux autres .
La carte biostratigraphique ( appendiee 3) montre que les
subdivisions de I' ensemble Cenomanien-Coniacien varient
considerablement en epaisseur sur de courtes distances .
Ce fait reflete des conditions de depots va ria bl es et
des mouvements a la fois syn- et post-sedimentaires qui ont
amene des variations locales de direction et de pendage. Le
controle tectonique sem ble etre particulierement important
au Cenomanien. La limite entre les formations Riachuelo et
Cotinguiba est diachronique, et, mise a part la region de
Japaratuba ou existe un ensemble Cenomanien moyen-Tur
onien inferieur bien developpe, le C enomanien est le plus
souvent absent ou peu epais. Des couches brechiques et des
surfaces dureies existent dans le Turonien et le Coniacien et
marquent les discontinuites frequentes de la sequence. Des
etudes supplementaires seront necessaires pour bien les de
finir.
La serie de Sergipe ne peut etre encore correlee que dans
ses grandes lignes avec les sequences du Cretace moyen des
regions elassiques de I ' E urope occidentale, principalement
par I ' absence de plusieurs Ammonites "eies" du domaine
borea!. Notons d'autre part que les correlations avec cette et
des autres regions sont rendues encore pl us difficiles par le
manque d' une entente internationale sur les limites d'etages,
des sous-etages, et de la biozonation du Cretace moyen.
Ammonites et Inocerames sont les faunes les plus utiles

FOSSILS AND STRAT"A 1 2 ( 1 983)
Peter Bengtson : Cenomanian- Coniacian oj Sergipe
pour etablir la biostratigraphie detaillee du bassin de Ser

gipe. Les Bivalves, les Gasteropodes et les E chinides sont
moins utiles . Quant aux microfaeies ils ne peuvent etre
utilises que pour des correlations a courte distanee dans le
bassin . La mierofaune, quant a elle, necessite des etudes
approfondies .
La limite du Cenomanien-Turonien, encore tres debat
tue, est placee ici a la base de l'assemblage d' Ammonites
earaeterise par l' abondance des Pseudotissotiines assoeies
aux faunes c!assiques Paravascoceras hartti ( Hyatt) et Pseud
aspidocerasjooteanum (Stoliczka) ( P pedroanum ( Whi te) ) . C ette
limite rend, au point de vue faune, la derniere mi se au point.
Si l'on aj oute a eela la eontinuite lithologique en passant du
Cenomanien au Turonien, il sem ble que le pass age Ceno
manien-Turonien a Sergipe soit relativement eontinu et
done interessant pour l' etude detaillee de la sueeession des
Ammonites dans cette partie du domaine tethysien (sensu
lato) .
Ce travail, qui a permis de dater les affieurements de la
formation Cotinguiba, a aussi permis de plaeer dans le
Cenomanien terminal les couehes de Tibureio de la region
d' Estaneia, d 'apres la presenee de Thomelites, confirmant
ai nsi l' hypothese de K . Beurlen ( 1 970) basee sur l' abon
danee des Exogyra .

The publications cited in the historical review (pp. 8-25)
constitute only a selection from the published literature on
the Cenomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe. Remaining titles are
included in the annotated bibliography given below. For
convenience, the list also includes the few references to other
works which are cited in the main body of the text. These
references , which thus are not part of the bibliography, are
marked with an asterisk and lack the con tent code (see
below) .
There are numerous review papers on the topic - and
even duplicate papers - containing no new results or inter
pretations . Most of the literature is in Portuguese, and some
publications are difficult to obtain outside Brazil, in a few
cases even through Brazilian libraries . The bibliography is
intended as a means of directing the reader rapidly to publi
cations relevant to his or her own interests, and to keep
down "bibliographical noise" .
The bibliography aims to be complete up to the end of
1 98 1 (as regards the actual publication date) . Book reviews
are not included . Mention of Sergipean species in discussion
or description of fossils from other areas does not in itself
qualify for inclusion, unless accompanied by new interpreta
tions of the specimens or sequences . Published, informative
"pre-publication" abstracts and summaries of talks are in
cluded if they contain clear reference to the C enomanian
Coniacian. Papers dealing primarily with oil prospecting
and oil exploration are omitted unless they contain signifi
cant geological data. (An annual review of oil exploration in
Brazil, with data on Sergipe, has been published since 1 947
in the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin, un
der the title "Foreign developments " . )
Listing o f authors i s under the last (family) name, except
where this is Filho or Jr. or where the family name is com-
55
posite ( e . g . , Morais Rego) ; in t h e latter case, cross-references

are provided .
Dates of publication aim at actual dates, as s tated in the
publications or given in annual reports of DNPM, circular
letters of the Sociedade Brasileira de Geologia, etc. Where
the actual and nominal dates differ, the latter - normally the
date printed on the cover - is given in square brackets, e . g . ,
[for 1 976] .
Entries lacking titles - usually long excerpts from pre
viously unpublished reports - are given a title within quota
tion marks if the wording is extracted from the text as such
(see, for example, Alvim 1 920) , or are assigned a descriptive
title in English (for example, K . Beurlen 1 955) . Annual
reports of oil companies , geological surveys and similar
organizations frequently contain material derived from un
published internal reports, for example in the form of long
summaries. These do not constitute independent biblio
graphical items; however, in citations in the text, credit is
given to the author of the information (for example, Carlton
in Conselho Nacional do Petr61eo 1 948b) .
The original orthography of authors' names and titles of
books, articles, periodicals, etc. , is employed.
Plates, tables, figures, maps, etc . , are s tated on ly if they
lack pagination .
To facilitate retrieval of data on Sergipe, page references
are given (in square brackets) for the more voluminous
publications.
Each entry has a code to indicate content - with reference
to the C enomanian-Coniacian of Sergipe - as follows :
R = review, i . e . containing no new results or interpretations
G = general geology
Stages according to current knowledge (older concep ts, in

cluding "A lb " and "Maastr ", in parentheses ) :
Cen = Cenomanian
Tur = Turonian
Con = Coniacian
T= taxonomy
a = ammonites
b = bivalves
g = gastropods
e = echinoids
f = foraminifers
o = ostracodes
n = nannofossils
p = palynomorphs
v = vertebrates
x = other groups
For example, a paper coded Cen- Tur/Ta.e. covers the C eno

mani an and Turonian, with taxonomic descriptions of am
monites and records of echinoids .

Descriptions of localities
Note: Lithological properties in the Cretaceous of Sergipe are

strongly influenced by weathering, the degree of which may
be locally very variable. Terms for bedding, hardness, col
our, etc. are used informally; for example, "hard" is em
ployed in the sen se of yielding with difficulty to the hammer
(as opposed to "friable" ) . All data given are purely descrip
tive and as recorded in the lield .

Appendix 3 (opposite) . Biostratigraphical map of the main

area of outcrop of the C enomanian-Coniacian in Sergipe
(for location, see Fig. 2; cf. Fig. 8) . Localities investigated
( 1 97 1 - 1 9 72 and 1 9 7 7 ) are marked (p. 30; Appendix I ) , and
the broad distribution of subdivisions based on characteris
tic ammonite genera (pp. 44-47) is indicated . Base data
( black) are mainly from geological rna ps by Richter & Si

I n s tructions to Au thors
Manuscripts are to be sent to the Editor. The author's permanent
and temporary addresses are to be given. The manuscript will not
be returned to the author until the artiele has been printed, and the
author is requested to retain a complete copy. Proofs will be sent to
the author twice; the author is expected to read them carefully and
to return them promptly to the address indicated . The au thor will
be charged for changes against the manuscript made by him in the
proofs . The author will receive 50 copies of his contribution free of
charge.
MANU SCRIPT
The manuscript must be typewritten ( carbon copy not acceptable)
on one side of standardized paper, double-spaced, and with an
ample left margin . The text must be elear and concise, and written
preferably in English; German or French manuscripts may be sub
mitted . Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order: ( I )
I n formative but brief title. Avoid titles with interrogative form,
abbreviations, formulae, and brackets. ( 2 ) Author's name; one or
more of his forenames unabbreviated. ( 3 ) A short abstract, always in
English, not excecding 12 lines ( 9 1 0 characters and spaces) , and
starting with a repetition of 2 and I , with a translation in parenthe
ses of non-English titles. (4 ) The author's professional address and a
dating of the manuscript. ( 5 ) The main text. Use three or fewer
grades of headings . I ndicate in the left hand margin the approxi
mate positions of figures and tables. The words 'Fig . ' ( ' Figs . ' ) , ' P l . '
( ' PIs . ' ) , a n d 'Table' ( unabbreviated) a r e t o be writlcn w i t h capital
initials in the text. I n the main text, Fossils and Strata does not use
small capitais, bold-face, or letter-spacing. Instead of foornotes,
insert paragraphs which can be composed in smaller type or use
parentheses. ( 6 ) Referenccs shall conform to the examples given
below. Abbreviations used should be consistent; necessary editorial
changes will adhere to the usage in the International List aj Standard
Titte Word A b b reviations ( based on I S O 4 and published by the
I nternational C entre of I S D S , 20 rue Bachaumont, [-7 5002 Paris ) .
The use of unabbreviated se ria I titles is accepted. ( 7 ) C aptions of
illustrations , if any. Add an English caption below captions in other
languages. Figure captions and tab les must be submitted on separate sheets.
(8 ) Tables, if any, with captions, numbered with arabic numerals.
When possible, try to simplify table material so that it can be run in
with the text. ( 9 ) Explanations of plates, if any.
I LLU STRATIONS
Figures in the text should be reducible to a maximum size of
1 7 . 1 X 25.3 cm or less. I t is recommended that figures be construc
ted either for the entire width of the type area ( 1 7 . 1 cm) or for the
column width ( 8 . 1 cm) . An intermediate width of 1 1 . 7 cm is also
particularly useful. On all figures should be the author's name and
the figure num ber. Do not attach captions to the figures. Photo
graphs are to be elear, sharply contrasted, and printed on white
paper with glossy finish. Photographs of fossils, however, should be
made without very pronounced light areas or \'ery heavy shadows ;
the shadows are to fall consistently towards the lower right corner of
the figure. Figures may be composed of severai quadrangular units
separated by I mm broad spaces . The itcms in composite figures
should be similar to each other in tone . I f the natura I background is
to be deleted, blackening is preferred .
The items of compositc figures should be designated A, B, C, etc.
(not a, b, c, etc. ) . Plates in the strict sense should be prepared for an
area of 1 7 . 1 X 2 5 . 3 cm. The items in composite plates should be
designated 1 , 2 , 3 , etc. (not italics ) . All figures, plates, and tables are
to be referred to by ara bi c numerals.

Minipri n t in Fossils and Strata

Miniprint is intended for reading with simple magnifying equip
ment and can usually be read suboptimally with the naked eye. It
has been introduced in some serials within the earth and life scien
ces, mainly to provide full supporting text for synoptic artieles . !ts
introduction in Fossils and Strata is not for the main text, but for lists
of data which need be read only occasionally, and then as small
paragraphs following entry word s . The system has been introduced
particularly to meet the extensive and increasing need for locality
definitions in modern palaeontology and stratigraphy. The extra in-
house work required to provide camera-ready copy is more than

compensated by the elimination of typesening and proof-reading,
and much space is saved . Miniprint from type-set originals, as
provided experimentally in Number 1 2 , is even more economic with
regard to space.
Authors wishing to submit camera-ready copy for miniprint
should consult the editor beforehand with regard to type-faces and
typewriter ribbons. It is recommended that lists should be arranged
as in Numbers I 1 and 1 2 .
