Abstract
Pleistocene sites with mammals in Brazil are commonly recorded from limestone or dolomite caves, outcrops at rivers and creeks, coastal plain lagoon deposits, rock shelters, and natural tanks. This work presents a new late Pleistocene site containing bones and footprints of mammals. The footprints are assigned to llama (Lamaichnum), cervid (Pecoripeda), horse (Hippipeda), and at least one megamammal (?Toxodon), constituting the northernmost record for the late Pleistocene of South America and the first record from Brazil. Mammals are related to fluvial environments along with treeless vegetation during a sub-humid climate, in a region currently dominated by a semiarid biome.
