Item Inventário da Coleção Paleontológica da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE) - Recife/PE(2021-07-23) Alves, Jhonata; Oliveira, Gustavo Ribeiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0511197435512022; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5325516476585152Paleontology is the science that studies fossils, which are parts of bodies, remains, or biological activities that have undergone fossilization processes. These specimens go through a rigorous system of collection, transportation, identification and classification, to define age and formation found, entering later in a collection, where they will be under the curatorship that will preserve the piece collected. The present work aims to make an inventory of the fossils deposited in the paleontology collection of the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE). To achieve this goal, the collection's ledger was digitalized and then all specimens were organized into eight groups: Invertebrates, vertebrates, plantae, thalassinoids, indeterminates, coprolites, missing data and miscellaneous. In total, the collection has 4,247 fossils: 3,280 Invertebrates (04 cnidaria, 2,861 mollusca, 125 echinodermata, 24 Insecta, 266 crustacea), 530 Vertebrates (267 Pisces, 238 mammalia and 14 sauropsida), 143 from the missing data group; 129 thalassinoids, 113 indeterminate, 19 from the Ppantae group, 24 coprolites and 9 from the miscellaneous group. All collected from 27 different sites, 10 formation types and 11 ages. We conclude that the UFRPE collection has a great diversity of fossils from a wide area of distribution and with a great scientific potential coming from the gaps to be filled.Item Doença de deposição de pirofosfato de cálcio em folivora e notoungulata do pleistoceno final do Brasil(2019-12-13) Silva, Rodolfo Costa da; Oliveira, Gustavo Ribeiro de; Barbosa, Fernando Henrique de Souza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5535002746142941; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0511197435512022; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1731529335514698Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is a type of crystalline arthritis characterized by the presence of calcified plates reflecting in direction to the articular surface, indentations in the radiocarpals joint surfaces, or calcified concretions over the articular surface. The CPPD can be classified as primary or secondary, depending if there is a relation or not with a pre-existing disease. CPPD has been well documented in mammals of the Brazilian Megafauna of the final Pleistocene, especially in gliptodonts and giant terrestrial sloths. The objective of this work is to present new diagnostics of the CPPD in extinct mammals of the Brazilian Megafauna in the final Pleistocene. The analysed material belongs to the collection of palaeontology of the Rural Federal University of Pernambuco which have been collected in a tank deposit, located in Serra Negra, city of Caruaru, Pernambuco (8°6.8225'S 36°6.0349'W), and include: A calcaneus (UFRPE - 4981) a rib (UFRPE - 5547) and a scapula fragment (UFRPE - 4982) of Eremotherium laurillardi (Xenarthra, Folivora) and the distal portion of a Toxodon sp. Fibula (Notoungulata) (UFRPE - 4990). Each specimen has been macroscopically examined and the presented diagnosis followed as specific literature. The Calcaneus (UFRPE - 4981) presents bone projection at the shallow end of the sustainable facet, near to the tendon insertion area. The rib (UFRPE - 5547) presents bone projection in the border of the chapter surface. The scapula fragment (UFRPE - 4982) presents bone projections next to the center of the articulation, in the glenoid cavity and are associated to minor bone erosions. In the fibula (UFRPE - 4990), it is possible to observe calcium deposition associated to the CPPD onto articular surface of the distal edge, there are also minor bone erosions, of a few millimetres, that can be related to other diseases (e.g. spondyloarthropathy). The presence of those calcified plates over articulations is an indicative of the CPPD – essentially gliptodontes and terrestrial sloths – are predominantly individuals that have great body mass and are senile. There diagnostic of CPPD in eight diferent localities, from Northest of Brazil.
