Mexican Mystery Pod

I found these pods on Mexico's Pacific coast, in Huatulco, I think. I thought I had a picture of the tree but can't find it. The tree had a rounded profile and was about 30' tall. Identification would be appreciated.

 

Hello JohnTasha and welcome to GC.

Could it be Guanacaste from Costa Rica? ...

I have another seed link of such but cannot immediately find it and am going out so will look again later.

 

Agree with Victoria.
Enterolobium cyclocarpum seed pod.
Several common names.

Yes, (fruit of Enterolobium cyclocarpum). Thanks all.

 

Thanks for that website Victoria, on sea beans,
You have ID ed one of the seeds from my Chilterns lottery mix last year.
Difficult to see but the seed was distinctive, No 6 was definitely Enterolobium, unfortunately I couldn't get the plant through the winter.

 

At last, I have remembered the other link ...
