Supplements the faunal list first reported in 1930 for the Cenomanian (Cretaceous) Quiriquina beds near Talcahuano, Chile, on the basis of newly collected material which indudes worm tubes, pelecypods, a scaphopod, and a feather star (crinoid). So called Baculites nodules are reinterpreted as ejecta of plesiosaurs, whose remains are known to occur abundantly in the same region.
