Paleontology
8 km west of Candelária there is an outcrop of Caturrita Formation where various Triassic fossils have been collected, especially small cynodonts like Riograndia. The discovery of Riograndia in 2001 made it possible to better study the complex of anatomical changes involved in the transition from cynodonts to mammals.
The Museum Aristides Carlos Rodrigues, in this city, has fossils.
