Hello, I found this fossil last spring break, in Coahuila, Mexico. It comes from the late Campanian (73-71 Myrs) Cerro del Pueblo formation. I found several fossils at the same location where I found this fossil.

The formation is a mess, it’s composed of layers that were deposited in marine, and terrestrial environments, as well as rivers and possibly

Hello, this spring break I found this vertebra in late Campanian sediments from southern Coahuila, Mexico. It comes from the Late Campanian, Cerró del Pueblo Formation, around 73-71 million years.

A book on Mesozoic reptiles of Mexico will be out in 2014...... http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/product_info.php?cPath=1037_3130_3175&products_id=807153 While Mexico's biggest claim to fame in Mesozoic history is that it boasts the asteroid impact site at Chicxulub on the Yucatan Peninsula, what very few people know is that Mexico during the Mesozoic was once inhabited by marine reptiles and boasted the southernmost occurrences of North American ankylosaurs, ceratopsians, tyrannosaurs, hadrosaurs, and dromaeosaurs. While "Plesiosaurus"mexicanus and Amphekepubis were the first Mesozoic rep
