ABSTRACT:

The Paraná Basin is the largest sedimentary unit in South America, covering an extensive area of the territories of Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina. From a paleontological perspective, the basin is historically known for its great fossiliferous potential, with organisms from the Ordovician to the Cretaceous, documented in different preservational patterns, within a range of depositional environments. Based on this, the objective of this session is to promote a space for the dissemination and international recognition of the palaeontology of this basin, encompassing different aspects of its taxonomy diversity, taphonomic histories, palaeoecological data, biostratigraphic markers, and Lagerstätte-type deposits. The session is open to all those who are interested in the theme, from undergraduate students to professional researchers, in order to encourage a rich exchange of information on advances in fossil research in the Paraná Basin.
