Absolute datings indicate that E. neogeus inhabited the surroundings of Gruta do Urso cave during the Last Glacial Maximum. The specimens probably represent very young individuals that died outside the cave, were weathered prior to the final burial, with ontogenetic and taphonomic similarities. Herein, we report the first scavenger interaction of ursids and equids in the South American fossil record.517-530openAccesspaleontologyfossilsarchaeological specimensspecies diversityage estimationanimalsbiological evolutionrock cavernscavessouth americaArtigo de periódico55510.5710/AMGH.05.07.2018.3069aguardando48.2553.00
