- Abstract
This study reports new occurrences of the Quaternary megafauna in the paleontological sites of Campo Alegre (Taperoá municipality, Paraíba State) and Lage Grande (Alagoinha municipality, Pernambuco State), northeastern Brazil. The following taxa were identified: Hippidion principale (Perissodactyla, Equidae), Panochthus sp. (Cingulata, Glyptodontidae) and Gomphotheriidae indet. (Proboscidea) in the tank deposit of Campo Alegre; and Equus (Amerhippus) neogeus (Perissodactyla, Equidae) in the tank deposit of Lage Grande. In paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic terms, the occurrence of these taxa suggests an open environment associated with closed phytophysiognomies and a relatively wet and warm climate in Taperoá; and a strictly open area and an arid climate in Alagoinha during the Late Pleistoceneearly Holocene.
