I have tried searching on the web for whether or not it is legal to bring fossils to Mexico, but the information is either inexistent, vague, or conflicting. ![]() A few years ago on a return trip to there, I had brought a small dead branch that was curiously shaped like a hand, a customs officer picked it from my carry-on luggage and promptly destroyed it and put it in a trash bin. Customs in Mexico City can check your baggage on arrival before you exit the airport terminal. I know and have read that I will likely have no trouble getting them into the plane in Canada as carry-on luggage save for a few inquisitive questions from airport security, but my big concern is once I arrive at Mexico. I do not have a trip to Mexico planned solidly but I am considering going back eventually once COVID starts slowing down, and I will bring my fossil collection with me. All of these are relatively small in the 1-3 inch range, with the exception of one of the sliced ammonites being 5 inches. ![]() In my time here in Canada I have started a small fossil collection- three sliced ammonites, three cheap trilobites, a Crinoid plate, a 3.5 inch Megalodon tooth, a piece of ammolite and another gemstone. I am a double national from Mexico/Canada, and I travel occasionally between both countries.
