| Summary: |
A geographic information system (GIS) database is herein presented to integrate all reports of conodont occurrences in Mexican localities. In addition to the database and the interactive map, we included detailed static maps of each locality, whenever the information was available. The analysis of data included in 62 scientific works revealed 45 localities in Mexico where conodonts have been reported. Conodont record in Mexico spans the entire stratigraphic range of the group, from the late Cambrian to the Late Triassic. Conodont biodiversity includes at least 611 species of 229 genera, although we have not carried out validation of taxonomic assignments nor taxon validity or synonymy. The results obtained contribute to a better understanding of paleobiodiversity and the evolution of marine ecosystems in Mexico and provide a valuable tool for future paleontological and geological studies.
