Bravo-Cuevas Eduardo Jiménez-Hidalgo Ciencias de la Tierra Puebla Camelidae Palaeolama central Mexico Late Pleistocene Palaeolama was a relatively rare camelid in North America during the Pleistocene. Here we report the first occurrence of P. mi - rifica in the Late Pleistocene of Puebla, central Mexico. This is the southernmost record of P. mirifica in North America, and fills in a geographic gap with a record of the species in Costa Rica. The fossil-bearing unit is composed of silt, fine sand, and scarce pebbles. This unit is partially correlative with the alluvial sequence of Axamilpa, Puebla, considered to be MIS 2 – 3 in age. Isotopic data and Mesowear III values indicate that P. mirifica from Barranca Xocoa was an intermediate feeder. 2015 artículo científico 1405-3322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=94339885002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=943 Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana application/pdf Sociedad Geológica Mexicana, A.C.
