"Turning up at the University of Mexico City in the summer of 1929 is a truly odd photograph received by postal courier from the town of Tula, Mexico. This photograph shows a bizarre creature surrounded by Mexicans and Indians. The beast, a pale misshapen alien thing, obviously succumbed to some sort of gunfire which wracked and punctured its odd crustacean-like body. It is clearly dead, and the locals show no fear in their expressions, only awe."

Although it's listed as the last of three Call of Cthulhu adventures on Dennis Detwiller's site, I think "Mysteria Matris Oblitae" is a simple, yet open-ended, scenario well-suited for new (and experienced) Keepers. I particularly liked how it integrates itself into the history of Mexico and the Catholic church of the time.
