Guerrero Attorney General Inaky Blanco told reporters in Iguala on Saturday that the remains would be sent to Mexico's forensic service to determine whether or not the corpses match those of the missing students.
Blanco, flanked by armed guards, visited the site and said investigators were examining the graves in the heavily guarded area.
"In the next few hours we will determine the cause of death and the number of bodies," a spokesman for the state attorney general's office said.
Iguala is located about 120 miles (193 km) south of Mexico City in the increasingly violent state of Guerrero, the site of clashes involving students, police and armed men last week.
A police official said on Saturday that there is video footage of between eight to 10 students being put into police trucks.
Twenty-two police officers were arrested in Guerrero on Sunday accused of killing two students during the clashes last week.
Guerrero Governor Angel Aguirre said on Saturday that a total of 30 individuals have now been detained in connection with the incidents.
Thirteen of an original group of 57 missing people re-emerged this week.
Many mass graves have been found across Mexico in recent years and months, the legacy of drug gang violence that has killed around 100,000 people since 2007.
