Blufftown Formation
Stratigraphic range: Campanian
Type	Geological formation

The Blufftown Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in the southern United States. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus except "Ornithomimus" antiquus. ^[5] Indeterminate hadrosaur and tyrannosaur fossils have been found here. ^[6] Fish fossils have been found here too. ^[7] Ostracod fossils have also been unearthed here too. ^[8]
