Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the area of Arenitos in Parque Estadual Vila Velha, Ponta Grossa, Paraná. Arenitos translates to sandstone; there appear to be some sandstone outcrops along the road appropriately named Trilha de Arenitos (Google Maps - georeferenced images). Used Google Maps - Earth and Map Views to locate the rocky area adjacent to Trilha de Arenitos in Parque Estadual Vila Velha. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates for the approximate geographic center of the rocky area (approximated through visual evidence). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the road Trilha Arenitos (trail goes slightly farther than rocky outcrop). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (540.51 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).)
