The outcrop is dominated by fine reddish sandstones intercalated with coarse sandstones and intraformational conglomerates, indicating a vast alluvial plain occasionally flooded by shallow, braided streams (Zerfass et al., 2003; Da-Rosa et al., 2009; Pinheiro et al., 2016; Dias-da-Silva et al., 2017). An Induan– Olenekian age is inferred for SCF based on the presence of the parareptile  Procolophon trigoniceps Owen, 1876, allowing the correlation between SCF and the upper Katberg Formation of the South African Karoo Basin (Botha &amp; Smith, 2006; Dias-da-Silva et al., 2006, 2017). The type locality of  Teyujagua paradoxa has already yielded the capitosauroid temnospondyl  Tomeia witecki Eltink et al., 2016 (Eltink et al., 2017), still undescribed archosauromorph remains and abundant cranial and postcranial procolophonoid bones, including fairly complete skulls of  P. trigoniceps (Da-Rosa et al., 2009; Dias-da-Silva et al., 2017; Silva-Neves et al., 2018). Tanystropheid archosauromorphs were also reported for other classic SCF localities (Oliveira et al., 2018).</p><p>Emended diagnosis:  Teyujagua paradoxa differs from all other known archosauromorphs on the basis of the following unique combination of characters (autapomorphies indicated by *): large, confluent external nares; external antorbital fenestrae absent; open lower temporal bars; lateral mandibular fenestrae present and positioned beneath the orbits when the lower jaw is occluded*; premaxillae lack anterodorsal processes; premaxillae bear posterodorsally directed palatal processes; anterior maxillary foramina absent; medial antorbital fossae present in maxillae; nasals are completely dorsal elements; lacrimals are broad and fill the space between the ascending and posterior processes of the maxillae; frontals have a small contribution to orbital rims; posterolateral processes of parietals elevated well above the skull roof; dorsal borders of the supratemporal fenestrae level with the dorsal margins of the orbits; squamosals with elongate ventral processes that reach a point level with the ventral margins of the orbits; wide, anteriorly open quadrate foramen; triangular supraoccipital; splenials exposed in lateral view; surangular shelves present; labiolingually compressed marginal teeth; marginal teeth distally carinated and bearing serrations; pterygoid dentition with a single tooth row on zone T 3, zone T 2 with two rows and zone T 4 present*; strong longitudinal lamina on the lateral surface of the axial centrum*; neural spine of cervical vertebra III with a rounded, posterior projection*.</p><p>COMPARATIVE DESCRIPTION</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EB87BE8C50FFC2FCA9FB2FFDBB504C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
