Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This work consists of the study of mollusks and a crustacean of the Upper Cretaceous from the San Fernando and Rosario Formations, of the Eocene from Tepetate Formation and a Quaternary alluvium in the northern part of the State of Baja California. In this fauna are represented one scaphopod, 16 pelecypods, 10 gastropods, one cephalopod and one crustacean.
