title: Late Cretaceous mosasaurids of northeastern Brazil: a summary of their record and a paleobiogeographical survey
abstract: The coastal region of northeastern Brazil holds one of the most important records of mosasaurids from the Late Cretaceous of South America. Analysis of these discoveries allowed us to create a picture of the composition of the fauna, as well as the diversity and paleobiogeography of these clades. In the region, the mosasaurid fossils are contained in Cenomanian to Maastrichtian geological units of epicontinental marine origin, in the Cotinguiba (Sergipe-Alagoas Basin), Alcântara (São Luís Basin)
