| Rewa Group | Takutu Formation | Late Jurassic | [1] |
The Takutu Formation is a Late Jurassic geologic formation in Guyana and northern Brazil. The formation comprises sandstones deposited in a shallow water to littoral setting. Fossil theropod tracks have been reported from the formation. A paleobotanic analysis of drill cores of the formation was conducted by Thomas van der Hammen in 1966 and showed fossil Classiopolis flora.
