Also known as site RS-S-327

Where: Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (29.8° S, 50.6° W: paleocoordinates 29.8° S, 50.5° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Botucatu Formation, Holocene (0.0 - 0.0 Ma)

• Hadler et al. 2008: C14 datings indicate that the sequence integrated for both sites represents the interval Early Holocene (9,400 years BP) – Late Holocene (3,730 years BP; see Table 1).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: cave; sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Hadley et al. 2008: The material from Garivaldino site is deposited in the UNISC, and that from Sangão site is at MARSUL.The excavations at the Garivaldino site were performed at arbitrary levels at 10 cm intervals, comprising twenty-three levels (Dias & Jacobus, 2003), and at the Sangão site at 5 cm intervals for a total of thirteen arbitrary levels (Dias, 2003). The specimens received compound number (e.g., 1754- 4); the first one (in this case, 1754) indicates the level into a grid from where it was excavated, according to the institutional catalogue numeration for levels and grids. The second number (in this case, 4) indicates the specimen itself, and obeys a sequencial order into a level of a grid.
