%X It is presented the first occurrence of the late Pleistocene - Holocene mammals fossils in a gnamma-like deposit in the Baixa Grande municipality, Bahia State. The identified taxa were Eremotherium laurillardi (Pilosa ¨C Megatheriidae), Panochthus greslebini (Cingulata - Glyptodontidae), Toxodontinae (Notoungulata - Toxodontidae) and Stegomastodon waringi (Proboscidea - Gomphoteriidae). The inferred ecology for this fauna is related to a savanna/forest habitat, in a more wet climate than the present-day semi-arid climate.
