This paper provides an updated review of the Mesozoic fossil Osteichthyan record of Mexico. This catalogue includes multiple entries of papers, theses, and diverse scientific meeting reports regarding Cretaceous Osteichthyan fishes of Mexico that reflect the present state of knowledge. In addition, it provides a review of the Mexican paleoichthyology history, including the most recent fossil Osteichthyan discoveries. Within this framework some systematic and paleobiogeographical implications generated from the enrichment of the Mexican Mesozoic Osteichthyan record are briefly discussed providing future perspectives to this young field of Mexican science.
