abstract = "Facies descriptions of the Cod{\'o} Formation in the Graja{\'u}
area are provided for the first time, and its sedimentary
characteristics compared to those from the Cod{\'o} area to allow
aleoenvironmental reconstructions. Deposits in the Graja{\'u}
area include evaporites, limestones and argillites bearing
features indicative of a shallow, low energy, subaqueous, saline
environment exposed to meteoric and/or capillary conditions.
Floodingevaporative concentration-desiccation cycles suggest a
saline pan complex surrounded by extensive evaporitic mudflats.
The location of the system, whether coastal or inland, is a matter
open for debate. However, the later hypothesis is favored
considering: 1. Sr isotopic data, with values higher than those
expected for Late Aptian marine waters; 2. calcitic composition of
limestones (instead of dolomitic and/or magnesitic as expected in
coastal settings); and 3. presence of continental ostracods and
lack of marine fauna. This interpretation is consistent with that
proposed for UpperAptian deposits of the Cod{\'o} area, but the
depositional system there was one dominated by more stable,
well-stratified, anoxic waters and evaporite precipitation in
central lacustrine areas, while in the Graja{\'u} area the salt
pan was more oxygenated and ephemeral, with salt precipitation
mainly in marginal areas or along surrounding mudflats.",
