First occurrence of a lingulide (brachiopoda: lingulidae) at piauí formation (upper carboniferous), Parnaíba Basin, Brazil

Abstract

This paper presents the first possible occurrence of Lingularia in the Carboniferous of the Parnaíba Basin, Brazil. In addition, an attempt to clarify the classification of lingulids of Brazil and to demonstrate that the diversity of the group can still be better known and explored in the Brazilian basins is made.
