Isolated sclerites of Chancelloria eros Walcott, 1920, Diagoniella sp. and associations of stauractine-hexactinellid and hexactine-pentactine spicules are described for the middle Cambrian of San José de Gracia, Sonora, Mexico; the material proceeds from a shelf marine sedimentary sequence, consisting mainly of shale interbedded with limestone, in association with fossils representatives of the Biozone Albertella, like Peronopsis bonnerensis Resser, 1938; Oryctocephalites walcotti Reeser, 1938; Elrathina antiqua Palmer and Halley, 1979, Ogygopsis typicalis Resser, 1939, and inarticulate brachiopods.
