An image featuring significant paleontological finds stored at the Center for Paleontological Research (CAPPA) of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) was highlighted in Nature magazine’s annual selection of the best scientific images of 2024<\/strong><\/a>, one of the most renowned scientific journals in the world.<\/p>\n

The photo shows a specimen of Prestosuchus chiniquensis, excavated by paleontologist S\u00e9rgio Furtado Cabreira. This reptile, which belongs to the crocodilian lineage, lived 237 million years ago during the Triassic Period. The discovery reinforces the significance of Brazil\u2014particularly the central region of Rio Grande do Sul\u2014in global paleontology. In the image, alongside the Prestosuchus, CAPPA\/UFSM paleontologist Rodrigo Temp M\u00fcller holds one of the oldest fossils ever found of dinosaur precursors: a specimen of Gondwanax paraisensis, a reptile also from the Triassic period.<\/span><\/figure>\n

Excellence in Paleontological Research at UFSM<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Santa Maria region, globally recognized for housing one of the richest fossil heritages in the world, has been essential in understanding the evolution of terrestrial vertebrates. Located in S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o do Pol\u00easine, CAPPA\/UFSM has stood out in research, in the training of new scientists, and in scientific outreach about the evolutionary history of vertebrates. “It is amazing to see how the paleontological research we produce at UFSM has gained worldwide recognition, increasingly boosting the internationalization of our University,” says Temp M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n
