Remains of selachians (sharks and rays) and other icthiolites have been collected from the Upper Miocene locality of Lomas de Siquirres. A new record of fossil species of shark is described for Central America and the Caribbean Region: Carcharhinus albimarginatus (Rüpel, 1837). The fauna of the Río Banano Formation is notable for the Tethysian afinity with the paleomediterranean faunas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
