          Abstract

          Here we studied new fossil chondrichthyans from two localities, Río de Las Minas, and Sierra Dorotea, both in the Magallanes Region, southernmost Chile. In Río de Las Minas, the upper section of the Priabonian Loreto Formation have yielded material referable to the taxa Megascyliorhinus sp., Pristiophorus sp., Rhinoptera sp., and Callorhinchus sp. In Sierra Dorotea, middle-to-late Eocene levels of the Río Turbio Formation have provided teeth referable to the taxa Striatolamia macrota (Agassiz), Palaeohypotodus rutoti (Winkler), Squalus aff. weltoni Long, Carcharias sp., Paraorthacodus sp., Rhinoptera sp., and indeterminate Myliobatids. These new records show the presence of common chondrichtyan diversity along most of the Magallanes Basin. The new record of Paraorthacodus sp. and P. rutoti, support the extension of their respective biochrons in the Magallanes Basin and likely in the southeastern Pacific.

          Se estudiaron nuevos condrictios fósiles provenientes de dos localidades, Río de Las Minas y Sierra Dorotea, ambas en la Región de Magallanes, sur de Chile. En Río de Las Minas, la sección superior de la Formación Loreto (Priaboniano) ha proporcionado material referible a los taxa Megascyliorhinus sp., Pristiophorus sp., Rhinoptera sp., y Callorhinchus sp. En Sierra Dorotea, niveles del Eoceno medio a tardío de la Formación Río Turbio han proporcionado dientes atribuibles a los taxa Striatolamia macrota (Agassiz), Palaeohypotodus rutoti (Winkler), Squalus aff. weltoni Long, Carcharías sp., Paraorthacodus sp., Rhinoptera sp., y Myliobátidos indeterminados. Estos nuevos registros muestran la presencia de una diversidad común de condrictios a lo largo de la mayor parte de la cuenca de Magallanes. Los nuevos registros de Paraorthacodus sp. y P. rutoti apoyan la extensión de sus respectivos biocrones en la Cuenca de Magallanes y probablemente en el Pacífico suroriental.
