Fossil Sirenia (Mammalia: Dugongidae) from the Pirabas Formation (Early Miocene), northern Brazil.

The Pirabas Formation on the Atlaniic coast of Pará, Brazil, is evidently of late Early Miocene (Burdigalian) age. It has recently yielded material of three genera ofdugongid sirenians: Dioplotherium cf. D. allisoni cf. and Rytiodus (Subfamily Rytiodontinae), and cf. Metaxyltherium (Subfamil...
