Resumen:
Two new fossil vertebrate localities are described from the Santa Cruz Formation (late early early middle Miocene) of coastal Patagonia.
They are noteworthy because they are the lowest stratigraphically of any precisely recorded in coastal Santa Cruz Province and
they contain a rich fauna including many partially articulated skeletons undisturbed by collecting. Thus, they offer the potential for taphonomic
analysis and paleocommunity reconstruction. The latter is particularly intriguing because the fauna document the Miocene Climatic
Optimum at >51 South latitude. Together with several previously documented sites in this region, it offers a potential window into
the nature of mammalian communities farther south than any other in the world during this time and documents the farthest south distribution
of primates.
