Description: To study the typical aspects of the phenomena in the super high energy region, that will be the main energy region of interest of the next experiments using nuclear emulsion chamber, we took the data of the superfamilies of Brazil-Japan Collaboration and compared them with experimental detailed information of an event with <math> \Sigma E_{\gamma} > 1000 \,\! </math> <math>TeV\,\!</math> of the same Collaboration. These superfamilies were also compared with simulated families using different primary composition <math>(P, CNO, Fe)\,\!</math> and Scaling-type interaction. In the correlation between hadrons and gamma rays we observed that some events were situated in the simulation region where the primaires were identified as heavy primaries. These events can be explained as Centauro type due to their big values of the hadronic number and the hadronic energy. The others events were situated either in the intermediary region or in the region that correspond to proton primary. Then there is a variety of superfamilies.
