The Lomas Coloradas Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in Mexico. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although only a few have yet been referred to a specific genus. [1] Indetermiate hadrosaur remains [2] and indeterminate sauropod remains, most likely belonging to Alamosaurus , have been unearthed here. [3]

: CS1 maint: location (link)The El Picacho Formation is a geological formation in Texas, United States, whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
