Abstract
[Resumen] Los tanques (mega gnammas) de origen natural excavados en roca constituyen formas
de tamaño medio muy frecuentes en los relieves graníticos del Noreste de Brasil. El estudio
de los sedimentos acumulados en el interior de esos tanques naturales se ha convertido en
una fuente de datos de gran interés para el conocimiento de la paleontología cuaternaria de
Brasil. Este tipo de cavidades habituales en zonas de sustrato granítico, una vez expuestas
en superficie han actuado como depocentros locales para los flujos de agua y sus sedimentos
asociados, a veces fosilíferos, lo que ha convertido estas concavidades en auténticas tanatocenosis.
El estudio sistemático de las acumulaciones fosilíferas se ha convertido así en la
principal herramienta para reconstruir las condiciones paleoambientales y paleoecológicas
durante parte del período Cuaternario en la Región Intertropical Brasileña.
[Abstract] Tanks (mega gnammas) of natural origin excavated in rock constitute medium-sized forms very frequent in the granite reliefs of Northeast Brazil. The study of the accumulated sediments inside these natural tanks has become a source of data of great interest for the knowledge of the quaternary paleontology of Brazil. This type of cavity in areas of granite substrate, once exposed on the surface have acted as local depocenters for water flows and associated sediments, sometimes fossiliferous, which has turned these hollows into true thanatocoenoses. The systematic study of the fossiliferous accumulations has become the main tool to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental and paleoecological conditions during part of the Quaternary period in the Brazilian Intertropical Region
