Bocaconodon (meaning "La Boca conical 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 a partial right mandible with two molars and a portion of a third tooth 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]
