Abstract:
... Caiman latirostris is a crocodilian reptile widely distributed in South America. The fossil records for this species are limited in the continent and radiocarbon dating, plus isotope analysis, has not been performed to the existing records, which prevent accurate paleoecological reconstructions. Thus, the present study aimed to record the occurrence of a fossil of C. latirostris in Sergipe state, ...
