Abstract
The vertebrates of the Maria Farinha Formation in the Paleocene of the Pern ambuco-Paraiba Basin encompass seven families of fishes and two taxa of rep tiles, collected in outcrops of Poty Quarry to the Paulista County, Pernamb uco State. It is the first occurrence of some taxa in Brazil (Albulidae, Se rranidae, and Dyrosauridae) and the first record of Myliobatis in this form ation. The faunal change at the K-T Boundary in Brazil is discussed.
