Resumen:
MLP 00-III-5-1 is a distal end of right tibiotarsus of a right tibiotarsus belonging to a fossil penguin. It comes from the Cerro Águila conglomerate (53°50´14.85"S and 67°47´29.78"W), about 70 m from the bridge on Route 3 that crosses the Río Grande and some 8 km far from Río Grande City, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. These beds lies over sediments referable to Cabo Peña Formation, probably similar in age to that of Carmen Silva Formation, deposited during the Middle Miocene. The fossil described at the present contribution is the only fossil penguin so far known from this unit and constitute the most austral record of a Neogene penguin in South America.
