A new crocodyliform from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian-Maastrichtian) Presidente Prudente Formation of the Bauru Group is described based on two almost complete skulls and mandibles. The material comes from the "Tartaruguito" site, situated at an old railroad between the cities of Pirapozinho and Presidente Prudente, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The new species, Pepesuchus deiseae gen. et sp. nov., is classified in the clade Peirosauridae on the basis of three synapomorphies: the presence of five premaxillary teeth, the anterior two premaxillary alveoli nearly confluent, and the oval cross-section of the jugal along the lower temporal bar. The new taxon increases the outstanding crocodyliform diversity of the Bauru Group, particularly of the Peirosauridae, which might turn out to be one of the most representative clades of gondwanan mesoeucrocodylians.

We conducted natural‐source audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) soundings at 31 stations along a 215 km profile in the Paraná Basin (South America) across the previously postulated Araxá‐Rio Grande alignment. Our objective was to study the resistive structures of the upper layers of the sedimentary sequence; our results made it possible to map the surficial layer of sediments of the Bauru group, a layer that reaches thicknesses of up to 250 m. We concluded that AMT soundings have reasonably good potential for groundwater exploration in the region. The varying thicknesses of Bauru group sediments and the irregularities of their contact surface with resistive volcanic rocks of the Serra Geral formation along the profile were not known previously. Our AMT profile crossed an important positive gravity anomaly located near the Rio Grande (a natural boundary between the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, in Brazil) which has not been fully interpreted. Five sites for deeper MT soundings, which may throw light on possible causes of the gravity anomaly, were selected based on the conclusions from the AMT survey.

Titanosaurs are one of the most common dinosaurs found in Cretaceous outcrops, especially in Brazil. In this article we describe a proximal portion of an ulna (Paleo-UFG/V-0039) which was found isolated Paleo-UFG/V-0039 comes from a sandstone outcrop, with fine to medium granulation, of the Marília Formation (Bauru Group) that appears irregularly in the municipality of Gurinhatã, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The occurrence described here is the first dinosaur osteological remains documented in this municipality. Although incomplete, Paleo-UFG/V-0039 could be identified as an indeterminate lithostrotian titanosaur whose morphology is similar to some appendicular elements of European species than South American ones. However, the incompleteness of the specimen has difficult complex interpretations. Finally, Paleo-UFG/V-0039 highlights the importance of the Gurinhatã outcrops and other sites in this region for future discoveries.
