The Hampen Formation is a Jurassic geological formation of Bathonian age found in central Southern England. [1] Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation. [2] This formation was formerly known as the Hamden Marly Formation or the Hamden Marly Beds. [1]
Cetiosaurus sp (sauropod indet)
The Cornbrash Formation is a Middle Jurassic geological formation in England. It ranges in age from Bathonian to Callovian, the uppermost part of the Middle Jurassic. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.. The name Cornbrash is an old English agricultural name applied in Wiltshire to a variety of loose rubble or brash which, in that part of the country, forms a good soil for growing corn. The name was adopted by William Smith for a thin band of shelly limestone which, in the south of England, breaks up in the manner indicated. Although only a thin group of rocks, it is remarkably persistent; it may be traced from Weymouth to the Yorkshire coast, but in north Lincolnshire it is very thin, and probably dies out in the neighborhood of the Humber. It appears again, however, as a thin bed in Gristhorpe Bay, Cayton Bay, Wheatcroft, Newton Dale and Langdale. In the inland exposures in Yorkshire it is difficult to follow on account of its thinness, and the fact that it passes up into dark shales in many places the so-called clays of the Cornbrash, with Avicula echinata.
The Dakhla Formation is a Maastrichtian geologic formation in Egypt. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.
The Forcall Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in Spain. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.

The Whitby Mudstone Formation is a Toarcian geological formation in England. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.. One of the more notable discoveries is the skull of the pterosaur Parapsicephalus, found within the Alum Shale Member.

The Mowry Shale is a Late Cretaceous geologic formation. The formation was named for Mowrie Creek, northwest of Buffalo in Johnson County, Wyoming. The Mowry crops out or occurs at depth in parts of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. It occurs within the following geologic regions:
The Turney Ranch Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation. Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
The Takli Formation is a Maastrichtian geologic formation in India. Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
The Sharp's Hill Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in the United Kingdom. Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.. It is the lateral equivalent of the Rutland Formation and the Fuller's Earth Formation.
The White Limestone Formation is a Bathonian geologic formation in the United Kingdom, dating to the Middle Jurassic, 168.3 to 166.1 million years ago. Fossil sauropod tracks have been reported from the formation. It is the lateral equivalent of the Blisworth Limestone. It predominantly consists of grey-yellow limestone, typically wackestone and packstone with subordinate ooidal grainstone. The dinosaur Proceratosaurus is known from the formation.
The Monte Grande Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in Spain. Fossil sauropod tracks have been reported from the formation.
The Higuerueles Formation is a Tithonian geologic formation in Spain. Fossil sauropod tracks have been reported from the formation.
The Lossiemouth Sandstone is a Middle to Late Triassic age geological formation. It is exposed on the south side of the Moray Firth near Lossiemouth and near Golspie in Sutherland. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
The Redonda Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation. Fossil theropod tracks have been reported from the formation.
