Abstract

A new specimen of Aturia fossil was collected from sublitoral or shallow marine sedimentary sequences of the Lower- Middle Miocene Roca Carballo Formation at the Central Pacific coast, in the Puntarenas province, Costa Rica. As result of the taxonomic study of the fossil, it is confirmed that this specimen corresponds to Aturia cubaensis (Lea, 1841), based on the shell shape and in major features of its sculpture. This is the second time that this species is recorded for the Miocene of South Central America and some stratigraphic inferences about the first found at the Río Banano Formation are made.

Abstract

A studied of the Lower Miocene fish fauna of the Pacuare de Tres Equis locality is made. In this area it is recorded 8 genera of sharks: Heptranchias, Megaselachus, Isurus, Carcharias, Mitsukurina, Hemipristis, Negaprion and Carcharhinus; and 6 families of osteichthyans, Sparidae, Acanthuridae, Scaridae, Labridae, Sphyraenidae and Tetraodontidae.

Abstract

Resumen Un nuevo espécimen de Aturia fósil fue colectado en las secuencias sedimentarias sublitorales o marino someras de la Formación Roca Carballo de edad Mioceno Inferior-Medio, en la costa pacífico central de Costa Rica, en la provincia de Puntarenas. Como resultado del análisis taxonómico del fósil, se confirma el registro de la especie Aturia cubaensis (Lea, 1841), fundamentado en la forma de la concha y de las características de su distintiva escultura. Esta es la segunda vez que se registra dicha especie para el Mioceno del Sur de América Central y por ello se hacen algunas inferencias estratigráficas acerca del primer hallazgo en la Formación Río Banano.

Abstract

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]

Remains of selachians (sharks and rays) and other icthiolites have been collected from the Upper Mio- cene 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 affinity with the paleomediterranean faunas. Restos de seláceos (tiburones y rayas) y otros ictiolitos fueron recolectados de la localidad de Lomas de Siquirres de edad Mioceno Superior. Se describe un nuevo registro de especie fósil de tiburón para América Central y la Región Caribe: Carcharhinus albimarginatus (Rüpel, 1837). La fauna de la Formación Río Banano se caracteriza por su afinidad Tethysiana con las faunas paleomediterráneas.
