In 2017, the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology celebrated its 50th anniversary. The cover photograph chosen for this anniversary year was of the northern portal of the Chabrières Tunnel, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. The tunnel had been recently excavated through steeply dipping Jurassic limestones and marls using drill and blast methods. This paper provides more context to the engineering geology and construction of this tunnel with details of the geological ground conditions and developed ground model.

How is the paleontological heritage of Mexico and other Latin American countries protected?

The paleontological heritage of Mexico consists of the fossil specimens housed in scientific collections (movable heritage), as well as those found in fossiliferous localities throughout the country’s territory (immovable heritage). Since 1986, as stated in the Federal Law on Monuments and Archaeological, Artistic and Historical Zones, the National Institute of Anthropology and History is in charge of protecting fossils discovered in Mexico. Fossils are considered cultural heritage by law in several Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, Peru, and Mexico. However, this classification is not the most adequate because it does not guarantee its comprehensive protection. In other countries, such as Spain, discussions have emerged as to whether paleontological heritage could be considered natural heritage, with all its legal implications. There is no law in Mexico defining the criteria for considering fossil sites as objects of protection; however, there are various instruments that allow their registration and therefore, a proposal for their long-term management and protection. Nonetheless, paleontologists working on Mexican territory must be commited to comply with the requirements already established by the law for the registration of palaeontological movable and immovable property. With this, it is possible to improve and adapt the instruments and legal processes that allow the safeguarding of Mexico’s paleontological heritage.

El territorio mexicano, es rico en restos fósiles tanto de flora como de fauna, los cuales son de gran interés científico, económico y social, para investigadores nacionales y extranjeros. Hasta el siglo XIX la recuperación de los fósiles siempre estuvo vinculada a la búsqueda de minerales y energéticos, pero durante el siglo XX esta actividad ha estado ligada con la academia. A pesar de que la paleontología en México se empezó a desarrollar el siglo pasado, las leyes y reglamentos que respaldan la protección y conservación del denominado patrimonio paleontológico aún presentan inconsistencias jurídicas. Actualmente, la ley establece una equivalencia entre un bien paleontológico y un bien arqueológico, homología que es inaceptable en la comunidad científica (nacional e internacional). Los fósiles se forman por procesos naturales, por lo que éstos deben formar parte del “patrimonio natural”, y la pérdida de estos materiales se debería incorporar al término conocido como “pérdida de la geodiversidad”. Uno de los factores principales que propician esta situación, es la falta de un marco legal que favorezca y rija el trabajo de los paleontólogos y otros interesados, con el fin de conservar y proteger estos bienes. Para este trabajo, se realizó una encuesta a la comunidad académica (estudiantes y profesores-investigadores) durante el XVI Congreso Nacional de Paleontología (2019) y se revisó el marco jurídico vigente relacionado con la protección y conservación de los restos fósiles; todo ello con el fin de recomendar cambios conceptuales y funcionales a la ley federal, además de considerar metodologías de trabajo para la evaluación de las colecciones y de los sitios de interés paleontológicos. Asimismo, de tomar en cuenta los criterios científicos, socioculturales y socioeconómicos, con el fin de construir un marco jurídico integral que apoye la investigación, la conservación y la protección del patrimonio paleontológico.
