| Fazenda Milton Almeida | Pitana V. G., Ribeiro A. M. (2007) | Touro Passo | Datações por termoluminescência foram realizadas em vários níveis do arroio Touro Passo, fornecendo idades variáveis de 6.400 + 350 anos AP, 15.400 + 750 anos AP, 16.327 + 800 e 42.600 + 900 (Milder, 2000), sendo os níveis fossilíferos correspondentes às idades entre 15 e 16 mil anos. | conglomerate | 0.126 - 0.0117 Ma Pleistocene |
| Touro Passo creek | Scherer C. S., Pitana V. G., et al (2009) | Touro Passo - Muddy | The material from Touro Passo Creek does not include details about the locality and level of collection, but according to the preservation, it is possible to infer that it comes from the carbonatic level (middle portion of muddy member) | mudstone | 0.126 - 0.0117 Ma Pleistocene |
| Uruguaiana | Scherer C. S., Ferigolo J., et al (2007) | Touro Passo - Mudstone | The fossils were collected probably from the point that Bombim (1976) called “place with larger number of mammals”, in the carbonate level (medium portion of the “Mudstone Member”). | sandstone | 0.126 - 0.0117 Ma Pleistocene |
