Abstract
The ichnofabrics and ichnofossils from two outcrops of the Serra da Galga Member (Marília Formation, Upper Cretaceous), in the Municipality of Uberaba, Minas Gerais of Southeastern Brazil, are analyzed: the first is characterized by fluvial deposits (braided rivers) and paleosols with a set of ichnofabrics comprising rhizobioturbation, rhizohalo-Skolithos, Skolithos, Taenidium, and Skolithos-Taenidium barretti; and the second have more influence of alluvial deposition and is characterized by occurrences of crustacean (decapod) Thalassinoides-like burrows. A reassessment of the Asthenopodichnium marks in the "pseudo-coprolites" is also discussed. The Scoyenia ichnofacies is suggested as being the most representative for the sedimentary deposits of the Serra da Galga Member in Uberaba.
