%X a radiocarbon date (7550 ㊣ 60 yr 14c bp) was obtained from bone collagen of an extinct ground sloth (scelidotherium leptocephalum) from the locality of r赤o cuarto (c車rdoba province, argentina). the fossil remains were recovered from the la invernada formation (late pleistocene- holocene). the date presented in this paper is the first radiocarbon date obtainedfrom megafauna in c車rdoba province, argentina. it supports the temporal assignation of the la invernada formation to the late pleistocene-early holocene, and it will allow correlation of these sediments with climatic events that took place during this time. moreover, it is the youngest radiocarbon date from megamammals recorded in central argentina.
