Old Red Sandstone, abbreviated ORS, is an assemblage of rocks in the North Atlantic region largely of Devonian age. It extends in the east across Great Britain, Ireland and Norway, and in the west along the eastern seaboard of North America. It also extends northwards into Greenland and Svalbard. These areas were a part of the paleocontinent of Euramerica (Laurussia). In Britain it is a lithostratigraphic unit to which stratigraphers accord supergroup status and which is of considerable importance to early paleontology. The presence of Old in the name is to distinguish the sequence from the younger New Red Sandstone which also occurs widely throughout Britain.
The Fox Hills Formation is a Cretaceous geologic formation in the northwestern Great Plains of North America. It is present from Alberta on the north to Colorado in the south.
The Valtos Sandstone Formation is a Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) formation found in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It is the thickest member of the Great Estuarine Group. The lithology consists of sets of approximately 6 metre thick cross bedded sandstone, capped by thin shelly limestones containing bivalves of the genus Neomiodon Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.
The Lealt Shale Formation is a Middle Jurassic geologic formation in Scotland. Fossil ornithopod, theropod and stegosaur tracks, a theropod dinosaur tooth and the pterosaur Dearc have been reported from the formation. The lithology consists of silty fissile mudstones with subordinate thin limestones.
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 Manse Burn Formation is a geologic formation in Scotland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Passage Formation is a geologic formation in Scotland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Gullane Formation is a geological formation in Scotland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Visean stage.
The Lawmuir Formation is a geologic formation in Scotland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Sandwick Fish Beds is a geologic formation in Scotland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period.
The Staffin Bay Formation is a geologic formation in Scotland. It preserves fossils dating back to the Callovian of the Middle Jurassic. It consists of two members, the lower Upper Ostrea Member, which consists of dark grey, fissile mudstone with a shelly limestone bed, and laminated and rippled sandstones. While the upper Belemnite Sands Member consists of medium-grained calcareous sandstones and siltstones

The Patrick Burn Formation is a Silurian aged geologic formation outcropping near Lesmahagow in Lanarkshire in the Scottish Lowlands. Fossils are known from the formation, including from the Birk Knowes locality.
The Hopeman Sandstone Formation is a geologic formation in Scotland. It preserves fossil footprints and body fossils from the Guadalupian Epoch in the Late Permian, to the Early Triassic, It preserves fossils and fossil footprints from various extinct animals such as pareiasaurs and dicynodonts, which are collectively often referred to as the Elgin Reptiles.
