Abstract
The distal end of a humerus from a pelican was found in upper Miocene marine strata in the lower part of the Trinidad Formation near Rancho La Trinidad in Baja California Sur, México. This bone represents the first bird fossil from the Trinidad Formation and the first Neogene record of Pelecanus from México. Not only is this one of the very few fossils of the family Pelecanidae from Neogene strata in North America, but it is also the first record of a pelican from Neogene marine rocks in western North America.
