Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes were determined in molar enamel from fossil Pliocene equids from Rancho El Ocote in the San Miguel Allende basin, Guanajuato, and from Santa Maria, Tecolotlan basin, Jalisco. At each locality, the source was one molar from an individual Dinohippus mexicanus and one molar from an individual Neohipparion eurystyle. Results indicated that the N . eurystyle individuals from both localities had been C 3 /C 4 mixed feeders, and had lived in open-zone vegetation (δ 13 C: -3.1‰ to -1.3‰; δ 18 O: -4.9‰ to -6.4‰). On the other hand, the D . mexicanus from Rancho El Ocote had fed upon C 4 plants and lived in open zones (δ 13 C: -1.3‰; δ 18 O: -4.9‰), whereas the D . mexicanus from Santa Maria was a C 3 /C 4 mixed feeder with considerable consumption of C 3 plants (δ 13 C: -7.7‰; δ 18 O: -6.4‰). These results could be contrast to suggestions from previous isotopic work that D . mexicanus in Mexico predominantly fed on C 4 plants and further samples analyses are warranted. This study contributes to the understanding of the Pliocene equid taxa from central Mexico and emphasizes the presence of different diets, ranging from exclusive C 4 to mixed C 3 /C 4 plants.
