An autodidact and amateur [[paleontologist]], from 1964 until 1969 he lived in the city of [[Santa Maria (Rio Grande do Sul)|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, Rio Grande do Sul|Mata]] where he contributed greatly to the preservation of [[fossil]]s found in the region.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Bonaparte |first1=J.

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).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Nacional (Brazil) |first=Museu |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lHgoAQAAIAAJ |title=Arquivos do Museu Nacional |date=2008 |publisher=El Museu |pages=297–299 |language=en}}</ref>
