- Abstract
The fossils of the region of the Quarta Colônia in the Central-Eastern Meso-region of Rio Grande do Sul are of international importance because they are a well preserved record of the Triassic Period. However, the state of abandonment and damage caused in many geodesites of paleontological interest are cause for concern, as there is a high risk of destruction of the geopatrimony, which may prevent the fossils from being available for research and this way of telling the Past history of that territory. In this sense, the present work analyzes the current situation of these geosites that are part of the Geopark Quarta Colônia project, defining a proposal to quantify the risk of degradation and proposing primary intervention measures. From the research carried out, it was verified that most of the geosites have a risk of medium and high degradation, which can be considered as indicative of the immediate need for protection measures so that the research in these sites can continue.
