Abstract
Se estudiaron dientes de tiburones Carcharhiniformes provenientes de ocho localidades del Plioceno
inferior de la Formación Arenas de Huelva, al suroeste de la cuenca del Guadalquivir, España. Se tomaron
35 muestras de las cuales se levigaron 300 kg de sedimentos. Fueron determinados un total de 48 dientes
distribuidos en seis géneros: Megascyliorhinus, Premontreia, Mustelus, Paragaleus, Carcharhinus y
Galeocerdo. La mayor abundancia y diversidad esta representada por el género Carcharhinus, seguido
de Mustelus y Premontreia; los otros taxones son más raros. Las asociaciones de seláceos indican que
los sedimentos en que se depositaron los restos correspondieron a un ambiente litoral-nerítico, con
una temperatura de aguas subtropicales a templadas. Los géneros encontrados en el Plioceno inferior
del suroeste de la cuenca del Guadalquivir también han sido reportados en el Mioceno superior de la
cuenca de Alvalade, Portugal.
Carcharhiniform shark teeth from eight localities of the lower Pliocene Arenas de Huelva Formation were studied in the southwestern part of the Guadalquivir basin. Thirty-five samples were collected. Three hundred kilograms of sediments were levigated and 48 teeth were found. The genera Megascyliorhinus, Premontreia, Mustelus, Paragaleus, Carcharhinus and Galeocerdo were recognized. Carcharhinus diversity and abundance prevail followed by Mustelus and Premontreia, whereas the other taxons are scarce. The selachians asemblage points out to littoral-neritic, subtropical to temperate environments. Carcharhiniform genera that have been found in the lower Pliocene of the Guadalquivir Basin also were found in the upper Miocene of the Alvalade Basin in Portugal.
