A new mysticete-related paper is available online: Hernández Cisneros, Atzcalli Ehécatl. 2018. A new group of late Oligocene mysticetes from México. Palaeontologia Electronica 21.1.7A 1-30. https://doi.org/10.26879/746 palaeo-electronica.org/content/2018/2147-oligocene-mysticetes-from-mexico The discovery of Tlaxcallicetus represents the second named species of Oligocene chaeomysticete from the eastern Pacific and only the third named species of Paleogene mysticete from that region, the other being the late Eocene Mystacodon from Peru. Thanks to the discovery of Sitsqwayk from Washington State, Tlaxcallicetus shows how much more is to be learned about early chaeomysticete diversity in the Pacific because the vast majority of Pacific chaeomysticetes from the Oligocene have been found in New Zealand (it's possible that there may be an undescribed Oligocene mysticete fossil in museum collections in California, or mysticetes preferred pelagic habitats in California in contrast to the Pyramid Hill odontocetes).

Ok fish friends, I need some help on an ID. This fish is from Ciudad Cerralvo, Mexico (east of Monterrey). Based on the geologic maps, it could be late Maastrichtian. It has an overall feel of Pachyrhizodus minimus to me but I’m hoping for another opinion.

I'm currently working on an oil rig in the Bay Of Campeche off the coast of Mexico. We currently have 5 paleontologist on board sampling micro fossils that are brought up when drilling. I had a chance today to look at some amazing specimens under a microscope. I wish I had pics but cameras are banned here. I got to see many types of Foraminifera that resemble the ammonties I collect. They were quite impressed when I showed them some of my Cretaceous finds from NSR.

I bought this ammonite in San luis potosi, Mexico. It comes from the geological formation of Taman. Which is late Tithonian- kimmeridgian in age. This ammonite looks weird!!! Can you'all help me identify the genus.
-
I bought this fossil. It came from the Taman group in San Luis Potosi, Mexico which is callovian to Tithonian in age. The fossil looks like bone. It is in an ammonite coquina. The ammonites look like Perisphinctes sp. It looks like a jaw. It has hollow cavities just like bone. Please help me Identify this. Photo of the specimen I circled the fossil

Chihuahuan Ammonite Fossil
PaleoQuest posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This piece arrived by way of Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, Mexico. Its owner is inquiring if it's an authentic piece and the best way it could get appraised.

This fossil is an Ammonite which I think is Perisphinctes. This fossil came from the santiago formation in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, which is middle Oxfordian.The sanTiago formation is below the Taman formation which is were the Ochetoceras came from. There has been fossil coming out of the formation which are Perisphinctes (Middle Oxfordian ammonite biostratigraphy of the Lower Santiago Formation at Taman, San Luis Potosi, Mexico — with notes on Mexico–Caribbean ochetoceratins) or Bioestratigrafía de amonitas del Oxfordiano medio de la parte basal de la Formación Santiago en Tamán, San Luis Potosí, México – con notas sobre ochetoceratinos de México y el Caribe, in Spanish. Here's photos of my specimen Close up of the fossil

Ochetoceras zio is one of the many species in the genus Ochetoceras. However, this particular species Ochetoceras zio is based only on one specimen, that was found in Württemberg, Germany. If the ID is correct, this specimen would be the 2nd one of its species ever found!! It comes from the Taman formation, probably the lower member, which is mid to upper kimmeridgian in age. It was found in association with Aulacomyella sp., which is abundant in the lower Taman formation and almost absent in the upper Taman formation. Special thanks to, @Ludwigia for identifying the specimen here on the Fossil Forum.

I found this fossil in Mexico. Specifically in Cerro de las mitras, Garcia Nuevo leon, Mexico. Cerro de las mitras is a mountain which has sediments from the Cretaceous period. I have found many other fossils there. But this one is special because I'm not even sure if it's a fossil. I found it 4 years ago. The fossil is dark in coloration and has line running. Is like an oval it runs all over the rock.The back

Last summer I bought this fossil from someone who said it was a dinosaur bone. He said it came from the mexican state of Coahuila from near saltillo. I told him that how he found it. He said you have to go out to the desert. The bone is polish. I think is is most likely from the Difunta group, and maybe Cerro del pueblo formation 72 million years ago. Several dinosaurs come from there, ex: Coahuilaceratops, Velafrons, Latirhinus. Tell me what you guys think about it!!!

I was in Monterrey mexico last summer and I was looking for fossils at cerro del las mitras. It's a mountain that is cretaceous in age. I think this fossil is either from the San felipe or mendez formation. The most unusual think is the green coloring!!!

Northwestern Mexico. I found this between a bunch of scattered rounded rocks.

Hello fossil-hunters, My family and I might soon go to Mexico on a trip. We are probably going to stay in Puerto Aventuras, Quintana Roo (Yucatan peninsula). Do any of you know some good nearby fossil sites where we could hunt? Thanks in advance, Max

Hello all, I'm new here so don't know my way around very well. I'm looking for any information on these little sand dollars. Age, location, any help at all. All I was told is they are from Mexico. Thank you very much, Steve

I found these three what I beleive are round fossils together in the middle of my ranch in northern Mexico, very close to the south texas border, I have previously found other fossils in the same area but all of them are shells or star fish fossils nothing like these I found. I know nothing about fossils and would like to know what these 3 spheres are....Thank you!

60lbs of pink calcite from mexico

What opinion do you have, is a large bird jaw or is another structure? It was found in tufa calcareous with river bivalves of the late Pliocene of north of Mexico.

Hi, In the second installment of my collection, I´ll show the Gastropods....

Well, Since I´m a new member, I´ll share with you over the month my little "Fossil Collection"... I´ve always loved fossils and near where I grew up in Mexico you find a lot of fossils... recently I came to Texas and living in Houston, 3 hours away from "fossil land in San Antonio or Dallas... To begin my echonids... only 3 pics to leave this as a brief post....

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all of our Fossil Friends! We took a December getaway trip to Mexico - our annual Yucatan vacation - no fossil hunting, but to my surprise, we did see a fossil sign and rock while doing a pedal-zipline through the canopy at a jungle theme park called Xel-Ha. You can see the fossil sign and a closeup of part of the rock face which has 67 million year old marine fossils - mostly coral and some shells. On previous trips we've seen some spectacular marine fossils on the roofs of caves we explored (mixed in with the bat colonies that live in the caves). Thought you might find this to be a fun and quirky trip report, in keeping with the holidays.
