About

The Paleontological Museum in Tocuila (Museo Paleontológico en Tocuila) is a fossil museum located in Municipality of Texcoco, State of Mexico, central Mexico.

It displays part of one of the richest deposits of Late Pleistocene fauna in America. International groups of archeologists discovered a large quantity of bones, mainly mammoth remains, estimated to be 11,000 to 12,000 years old, in an ancient river mouth that used to flow into the Lake Texcoco.
