Abstract

HERNANDEZ-JASSO, Roberto E.  and  HERNANDEZ, Andrés I.. The first occurrence of Pogonias Cromis (Sciaenidae, Perciformes) in the Late Pleistocene of Mexico. Rev. Geol. Amér. Central [online]. 2015, n.53, pp.68-73. ISSN 0256-7024.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rgac.v53i0.21142.

We describe a lower pharyngeal jaw of Pogonias cromis collected from lacustrine sediment of late Pleistocene age in the Laguna Madre, Tamaulipas, Mexico. This specimen represents the first fossil record of black drum fish in the Mexican territory, which amplifies the distribution range of the species during the Pleistocene and increases the knowledge of the family Sciaenidae.

Keywords : First occurrence; Scianidae; late Pleistocene; Tamaulipas; Mexico.
