%X the peiropolis paleontological site (late cretaceous, maastrichtian) in minas gerais state, brazil yielded an important assemblage of fossil vertebrates. the typical occurrence of south american widespread taxa in peiropolis is important for correlation between the brazilian bauru basin and argentinean late cretaceous basins. the fishes, turtles, anuran, crocodilians and dinosaurs known from peiropolis (marilia formation) resemble the patagonian latest late cretaceous vertebrate faunas but lacks ornithischian dinosaurs.
