Daniel Cargnin (paleontologist)
Daniel Cargnin (1930–2002) was a Brazilian priest and amateur paleontologist born in Nova Palma, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in 1930. He died in 2002, and at his request was buried in the town of Mata. An autodidact and amateur paleontologist, from 1964 until 1969 he lived in the city of Santa Maria, where he made great contributions to paleontology, working in the geopark Paleorrota, contributing to the collection of the Museum Vincente Pallotti. In 1969, along with Abraham Cargnin, he created the Museum of Paleontology of UFRGS and the PUCRS. In 1976 he moved to the city of Mata where he contributed greatly to the preservation of fossils found in the region. In his honor was created APEDAC (''Associação Padre Daniel Cargnin'') (''Association Father Daniel Cargnin''), which aims to divulge the geopark Paleorrota to a wider audience. The city of Mata received a museum named in his memory (Museum Daniel Cargnin). The Paleontological Site Largo Padre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1930 Births
Year 193 ( CXCIII) was a common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Sosius and Ericius (or, less frequently, year 946 ''Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 193 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Therioherpeton
''Therioherpeton'' is an extinct genus of small, carnivorous cynodonts belonging to the clade Prozostrodontia, which lived in what is now Brazil during the Late Triassic. Its type species is ''Therioherpeton cargnini''. It was named in 1975 by the palaeontologists José Bonaparte and Mário Costa Barberena based on remains collected in the ''Hyperodapedon'' Assemblage Zone of the Santa Maria Formation in the Paraná Basin.''Therioherpeton'' site, Faixa Nova at Fossilworks

Cynodont
The cynodonts () ( clade Cynodontia) are a clade of eutheriodont therapsids that first appeared in the Late Permian (approximately 260 mya), and extensively diversified after the Permian–Triassic extinction event. Cynodonts had a wide variety of lifestyles, including carnivory and herbivory. Mammals are cynodonts, as are their extinct ancestors and close relatives, having evolved from advanced probainognathian cynodonts during the Late Triassic. All other cynodont lines went extinct, with the last known non-mammalian cynodont group, the Tritylodontidae, having its youngest records in the Early Cretaceous. Description Early cynodonts have many of the skeletal characteristics of mammals. The teeth were fully differentiated and the braincase bulged at the back of the head. Outside of some crown-group mammals (notably the therians), all cynodonts probably laid eggs. The temporal fenestrae were much larger than those of their ancestors, and the widening of the zygomatic ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin , ) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood and DNA remnants. The totality of fossils is known as the ''fossil record''. Paleontology is the study of fossils: their age, method of formation, and evolutionary significance. Specimens are usually considered to be fossils if they are over 10,000 years old. The oldest fossils are around 3.48 billion years old to 4.1 billion years old. Early edition, published online before print. The observation in the 19th century that certain fossils were associated with certain rock strata led to the recognition of a geological timescale and the relative ages of different fossils. The development of radiometric dating techniques in the early 20th century allowed scientists to quantitatively measure the abs ...

Paleontology
Paleontology (), also spelled palaeontology or palæontology, is the scientific study of life that existed prior to, and sometimes including, the start of the Holocene epoch (roughly 11,700 years before present). It includes the study of fossils to classify organisms and study their interactions with each other and their environments (their paleoecology). Paleontological observations have been documented as far back as the 5th century BC. The science became established in the 18th century as a result of Georges Cuvier's work on comparative anatomy, and developed rapidly in the 19th century. The term itself originates from Greek (, "old, ancient"), (, (gen. ), "being, creature"), and (, "speech, thought, study"). Paleontology lies on the border between biology and geology, but differs from archaeology in that it excludes the study of anatomically modern humans. It now uses techniques drawn from a wide range of sciences, including biochemistry, mathematics, and enginee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Visits need to be scheduled in advance. Rooms The museum has many rooms, with great emphasis on the area of paleontology, with fossils of geopark of paleorrota. *Mineralogy *Zoology *Hides and other *Birds *Snakes, insects and fish *Paleontology *War material *Archeology History In 1935, in the District of Vale-Vêneto, José Pivetta and Valentim Zamberlan started taxidermy in the museum, which is already part of the same collection. In 1959, due to lack of space in Vale-Vêneto, the museum transferred to the College Máximo Palotino in Santa Maria.
