Taxonomic list
apparently the same as the Valle de Oaxaca fauna of Ferrusquia 1978 and Ferrusquia 1984, which came from four "closely spaced" localities
my best guess is that these localities are near the main road around Oaxaca de Juarez
gomphothere Ferrusquia 1984 omitted, perhaps a misidentification
archaeolagine of Ferrusquia 1984 omitted
