Also known as Aurora do Tocantins

Where: Tocantins, Brazil (12.6° S, 46.5° W: paleocoordinates 12.6° S, 46.5° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Pleistocene to Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• Its age can be inferred based also on ESR dates of fossils from the bottom and top of the fossiliferous level. Fossils of Panthera onca found at the bottom and Morenelaphus from the top of the fossiliferous level gave ESR dates of 22 and 3.8 ka, respectively.

•It is assumed that the fossil inhabited the surroundings of the Gruta do Urso sometime between Late Pleistocene and middle Holocene.
