“…Es interesante observar que esta combinación de megafauna sólo se presenta en la provincia morfotectónica de la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana (Ferrusquía-Villafranca et al, 2010). Recientemente se han reportado registros de Mammuthus en México para los estados de Baja California Sur (Rochín-Bañaga et al, 2017), Puebla (Carbot-Chanona et al, 2017) y Oaxaca (Viñas-Vallverdú et al, 2017;Díaz-Sibaja et al, 2018), pero la presencia de organismos juveniles de Mammuthus sólo han sido reportados en Tocuila, Estado de México (Morett et al, 1998;Arroyo-Cabrales et al, 2002), por lo que el registro en San Mateo Huexoyucán sería el segundo reporte para el país de organismos juveniles de Mammuthus (Figura 7). La presencia de ejemplares adultos y juveniles de Mammuthus sugiere el indicio de posibles manadas de mamuts en San Mateo Huexoyucán durante el Pleistoceno de Tlaxcala y estos ejemplares reflejan parte del potencial para estudios paleontológicos y geológicos futuros.…”

The fossils from San Mateo Huexoyucan, Tlaxcala, Mexico are formally described in this work. The specimens collected since 2011 include cranial and postcranial elements of Pleistocene Megafauna. The identification of the elements allows to postulate that they correspond to six previously reported species for the study area (Bison antiquus, Camelops hesternus, Cuvieronius hyodon, Equus conversidens, E. mexicanus and Mammuthus sp.), highlighting the presence of fossil material that corresponds to a juvenile individual of proboscideans (Mammuthus sp.) and glyptodonts (cf. Glyptotherium floridanum).

“…pers.). Besides those from Chiapas, other locations in southern Mexico are Puerto Escondido; Etla, and Barranca del Muerto (Santiago Chazumba), in Oaxaca state (Polaco-Ramos, 1981;Guerrero-Arenas et al, 2016;Viñas-Vallverdú et al, 2017); and Apaxtla, Guerrero (Torres, 1981). In southeastern Mexico there is a unique locality in Teapa, Tabasco (Polaco-Ramos, 1981;McDonald, 2002).…”

Eremotherium laurillardi fue un perezoso terrestre gigante común en el Pleistoceno tardío de América. Un fémur derecho completo referible a esta especie fue recuperado de sedimentos fluviales en el municipio de Socoltenango, en el estado de Chiapas, sur de México. El fémur muestra las características morfológicas de E. laurillardi, como son: forma rectangular, dorsoventralmente aplanado; margen lateral y medial rectilíneos y paralelos; tróclea patelar transversalmente alargada con el margen medial extendiéndose hacia el plano sagital del fémur. El registro de la colonia Constitución 27, agrega una nueva localidad con restos de E. laurillardi en México, la cual se suma a las siete localidades previamente conocidas con restos de esta especie en Chiapas. En México, E. laurillardi proviene de 31 localidades distribuidas en 13 estados, principalmente en la parte central y sur de México, en rangos altitudinales entre 0-200 hasta 2000-2500 msnm, lo que denota una distribución preferentemente tropical para esta especie.

“…In Oaxaca, Doutt and Black (1962) reported a molar of E. mexicanus near Yolomécatl (Figure 1), but they did not describe it. Many years later, Pérez Crespo et al (2008) enlisted the Pleistocene mammalian localities from Oaxaca, including the horses (Equus mexicanus and E. excelsus); Jiménez-Hidalgo et al (2012), briefly described the horses from the Viko vijin local fauna of northwestern Oaxaca (Equus mexicanus and E. conversidens) and Viñas-Vallverdú et al (2017) enlisted Equus sp. as part of the Chazumba faunal assemblage.…”

Equids are among the most common mammals found in faunal assemblages of Late Pleistocene age in Mexico. Much of what is known about the Equus species is the result of studies conducted in central and northern Mexico; much less is known about species in lower latitudes of Mexico. Here we describe three species that inhabited Oaxaca and Chiapas states. The fossil localities are in northwestern and central Oaxaca, as well as the central part of Chiapas. In Oaxaca, the largest species, Equus mexicanus, and the medium-sized Equus conversidens are represented by mandibles, skulls, diverse isolated teeth and some postcranial bones, while the smallest species, Haringtonhippus francisci is represented by a skull fragment and few isolated teeth. In Chiapas, E. mexicanus is represented by a mandible and several isolated teeth, E. conversidens by several mandibles and diverse isolated teeth, and H. francisci by isolated teeth and two mandibles. AMS radiocarbon and uranium dating of some of the equid localities in Oaxaca and Chiapas indicate that they were at least present since ∼44,000 Cal BP years, they were common around 30,000 Cal BP years, and were still present at the end of the Pleistocene, around 12,000 years ago. The record of H. francisci from Chiapas is the youngest in North America. A cluster analysis of extended mesowear data and a discriminant analysis showed that Equus conversidens from Chiapas was obligate grazer, whilst the rest of the equids were variable grazers. Geographic distribution of localities in southern Mexico indicates that during the Pleistocene the equid species moved across the Transvolcanic Belt-Sierra Madre del Sur temperate biogeographic corridor and the Tamaulipas-Central America Gulf Lowlands tropical corridor.
