Tipicamente caracteriza-se por um cilindro vascular sifonostélico com o anel descontínuo cortado por raios medulares e pela presença de almofadas foliares rômbicas com vesícula infrafoliar e cicatrizes foliares sem sinais de páricnos. Microfilos fragmentados geralmente ocorrem associados aos caules. Aqui foram tomadas três localidades no estado de São Paulo (de afloramentos da Formação Corumbataí), uma no estado do Paraná e uma em Santa Catarina (ambas de afloramentos da Formação Teresina) para as quais se estudaram os caules e microfilos de licófitas encontrados. Os caules foram diagnosticados como L. derbyi. Análises morfológicas levaram a sugestão de um possível modelo ontogenético relacionando as almofadas foliares e o diâmetro dos ramos. Nas análises anatômicas interpretou-se o córtex de maneira diferente a de autores anteriores. Com base nos dados adquiridos propõe-se uma emenda à diagnose da espécie e ainda sugere-se uma modificação da chave de identificação de Thomas e Meyen (1984) para as Lepidodendrales do Paleozóico superior. Para os microfilos definiu-se uma nova organo-espécie com base em amostras de Piracicaba (SP), Lepidophylloides corumbataensis. Tal organo-espécie é a primeira do gênero formalmente descrita para o Brasil e possivelmente para o Gondwana. Representa ainda o primeiro registro de tecido paliçádico numa espécie de Lepidphylloides. A organização dos fexies de xilema em forma de crescente sugere uma proximidade às espécies da Catásia. A íntima associação com Lycopodiopsis derbyi indica que provavelmente representem as folhas dos mesmos. Compararndo as ocorrências de microfilos estudadas nas formações Teresina e Corumbataí, concluiu-se que na primeira aqueles ocorrem r em menores concentrações e sem anatomia preservada, indicando maior transporte. / Abstract: Master degree dissertation Rafael Souza de Faria Lycopodiopsis derbyi is the most common species to which the lycopod stem fragments found in the Guadalupian strata from the Paraná Basin are assigned. A vascular cylinder represented by a siphonostele with a discontinuous ring crossed by medular rays and the presence of rhombic leaf cushions with infrafoliar bladders and leaf scars without any sign of pharichnos typically characterize the species. Fragmented microphylls occur in general associated with the stems. Here three localities in the state of São Paulo (from outcrops of Corumbataí Formation), one in Paraná state and one in Santa Catarina state (from outcrops of Teresina Formation) where lycopods stems and microphylls are found have been studied. The stems were diagnosed as L. derbyi. Morphological analyses suggest a possible ontogenetic model relating the leaf cushions to the branch diameter. In the anatomical analyses the cortex was interpreted differently from previous authors. Based on the data acquired an emended diagnoses is proposed for the species together with a modification of the Thomas and Meyen's (1984) identification key for the Upper Paleozoic Lepidodendrales. With regard to the microphylls, a new organo-species based on samples from Piracicaba (São Paulo state) was defined, Lepidophylloides corumbatensis. This organo-species is the first of the genus formally described for Brazil and probably for Gondwanaland. It also represents the first register of palisade tissue in a Lepidophylloides species. The xylem bundle organization in crescent shape suggests a close relation with the catasian species The association with Lycopodiopsis derbyi indicates that they represent the leaves of the such stems. Comparing the mycrophylls studied from the Teresina and Corumbataí formations, the ones occuring in the first are commonly in lower concentrations and with no preserved anatomy, indicating more transport. / Mestrado / Geologia e Recursos Naturais / Mestre em Geociências

Using the standard Jurassic zonal scheme, this work attempts to determine the ages of the four members of the Snowshoe Formation that crop out in the Izee area. As a corollary, regional correlations are possible. The stratigraphic relationship between the Snowshoe Formation, the subjacent Hyde Formation and the superjacent Trowbridge Formation is also investigated. Over one thousand fossils were collected from five stratigraphic sections and eight localities. The sections were measured using tape and compass techniques and the relative stratigraphic ranges of the fossils calculated using a computer program written specifically for this project. The ammonite fauna, dominated by the families Hildoceratidae, Stephanoceratidae and Sonniniidae, is systematically described. The Snowshoe Formation was deposited in marine waters of neritic depths during late Toarcian to early Callovian time, with the Bathonian apparently unrepresented. The lower member correlates in part with the Weberg and Warm Springs Members of the Snowshoe Formation in the Suplee area whereas the middle and Silvies members correlate in part with the Basey Member. Most of the Snowshoe Formation has, or probably has, correlatives within the North American continent. The lower contact of the Snowshoe Formation in the Izee area is gradational and the basal deposits non-diachronous whereas the upper contact is either diachronous or represents an unconformity.
