    A total of 1,720 references to research papers on Mexican fossils, covering all states of the Mexican Republic, was compiled through the revision of both Mexican and foreign publications. Of such a total, 10 references correspond to the Precambrian, 150 to the Paleozoic, 687 to the Mesozoic, and 688 to the Cenozoic, while 101 encompass more than one era and 84 do not specify the age covered. Regarding distribution by taxonomic group, 686 articles are on invertebrates, 409 on vertebrates, 331 on microfossils, and 175 on plants, while the rest (119) is made up by papers a) on more than one taxonomic group, b) on organisms which do not fall into one of the four aforementioned groups, or c) not specifying which taxonomic group they refer to.
