N2 - The territory of Goiás State in Central Brazil has yielded reptile fossils from the Permian, Cretaceous and fossil mammals from the Pleistocene-Holocene. Many new fossils have been found during the last years, allowing a better understanding of community structure and faunal evolution during these time intervals. In this study we present an updated synthesis of the reptilian and mammal faunas of Goiás. Tetrapod fossils have been found in the Paraná Basin rocks (Permian Passa Dois and Upper Cretaceous Bauru groups) in the Southern Goiás State since 1935. Goiás state fossils have been recorded in eight municipalities, and include mollusks, turtles, mesosau-rids, crocodiliforms, dinosaurs, and mammals. This paleofauna is exclusively comprised of clas-sic South American taxa that are also found in other former parts of Gondwana.
