Abstract

Abstract. We present the first fossil record of the sawshark genus Pliotrema from the south-eastern Pacific Ocean. The examined material was obtained from a little-known fossil locality named “Arenas de Caldera” in the Atacama Region of Chile. The fossiliferous deposits belong to the Bahía Inglesa Formation, which is most likely middle Miocene–early Pliocene in age. There are no extant species of this sawfish in the eastern Pacific, probably due to the onset of cooling conditions during the Neogene. The type of environment for the elasmobranchs reported in this study is interpreted as demersal, based on the bathymetric affinities of extant species. Our results show that future studies are needed to better understand the evolutionary history and past distributions of this sawshark genus and their implications on current biogeographic patterns.

东南太平洋(智利)新近纪锯鲨(Pristiophoridae)的首个化石记录

摘要我们展示了东南太平洋锯鲨属Pliotrema的第一个化石记录。被检查的材料是从智利阿塔卡马地区一个鲜为人知的化石产地“考尔德火山区”获得的。含化石矿床属于Bahía Inglesa组，其年龄很可能为中新世中期至上新世早期。东太平洋没有这种锯鱼的现存物种，可能是由于新第三纪冷却条件的出现。根据现存物种的水深亲缘关系，本研究中报告的蓝鳃类的环境类型被解释为底层。我们的研究结果表明，未来的研究需要更好地了解这种锯鲨属的进化史和过去的分布，以及它们对当前生物地理模式的影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
