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]
