Abstract
The fossil skull of a procellariid, Pachyptila sp., from Late Miocene marine sediments of the Bahia Inglesa Formation (Midde Miocene-Pliocene) of Northern Chile is described. The fossil is compared with extant species of the family Procellariidae. This discovery represents the first Neogene fossil record of the genus Pachyptila from South America.
