Geography
| Country: | Brazil | State/province: | Tocantins |
| Coordinates: | 12.6° South, 46.5° West (view map) | ||
| Paleocoordinates: | 12.6° South, 46.5° West | ||
| Basis of coordinate: | stated in text | ||
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Quaternary |
| 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |
| Key time interval: | Late/Upper Pleistocene - Holocene |
| Age range of interval: | 0.12900 - 0.00000 m.y. ago |
| Age estimate: | 22 to 3.8 Ka (ESR) |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: 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. |
