Late Emsian/Eifelian Loc. 20 of Melo: Pimenteiras regionMelo J. H. G. (1988)PimenteiraCollection not explicitly said to come from Pimenteira Fmn., but this seems rather clear from stratigraphic and geographic context.
"Although the age of the [Pimenteira Fm.] is probably restricted to the Middle Devonian along the eastern outcrop belt [of which this locality is a part] its full range is Emsian through Famennian in the subsurface of central portions of the basin."
