Bocaconodon (meaning "La Boca tooth") is an early mammaliaform genus that lived during the Pliensbachian (Early Jurassic) and has been found in Tamaulipas, Mexico. It is known only from teeth found at the Huizachal Canyon locality, "a Pliensbachian floodplain siltstone in the La Boca Formation".[1] The type species, Bocaconodon tamaulipensis (referring to Tamaulipas, where the holotype was found), was named and described in 2008.[2]
