dc.description.abstractThe objective of the present work is to compare the presence of Pleistocene vertebrate fossils from the central and southern sectors of the Coastal Plain of Rio Grande do Sul, quantifying and qualifying the taphonomy, and taxonomic group and skeletal remains representativeness. A total of 2,820 fossils was collected, among them 95% were collected in the southern sector and 5% in the central sector. In both sectors were identified two populations of bioclasts: non-identified fossils (85%) and identified fossils (15%). The same taxonomic groups and skeletal remains were identified in both sectors, except for some due to the different amount of fossils collected. The two populations of bioclasts identified represent greater (85% non-identified) or less (15% identified) reworking by waves. The hypothesis for the different amount of fossils collected is the availability of fossils on the shoreface and inner continental shelf. The presence of several submerged sedimentary rocks and records of paleolagoons and paleochannels on the shoreface and inner continental shelf of the southern sector indicates probably the source-areas where the skeletal remains were once fossilized and now are being eroded.en
