The Wenonah Formation is a geologic formation in New Jersey. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
Euclastes is an extinct genus of sea turtles that survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction. The genus was first named by Edward Drinker Cope in 1867, and contains three species. E. hutchisoni, was named in 2003 but has since been reassigned to the genus Pacifichelys, while E. coahuilaensis named in 2009 was reassigned as Mexichelys coahuilaensis in 2010.
Toxolophosaurus was a sphenodont from the Early Cretaceous-age Kootenai Formation of Montana.
Polysternon is a genus of turtles in the extinct family Bothremydidae. It was described by Portis in 1882, and contains the species P. provinciale, which existed during the Cretaceous of what is now France; P. atlanticum, which existed during the Cretaceous at Laño in what is now Spain, and a new species, P. isonae, from the Late Maastrichtian of Spain.
The Potomac Group is a geologic group in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period. An indeterminate tyrannosauroid and Priconodon crassus, a nodosaurid, are known from indeterminate sediments belonging to the Potomac Group. The Potomac Group was initially believed to have been Late Jurassic in age by Othniel Charles Marsh but later studies, such as Clark (1897), have found that the Potomac Group is in fact Early-Late Cretaceous (Aptian-Turonian) in age.
The Patapsco Formation is a geologic formation of varigated clays, sandy clays, and sand in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and in the subsurface of New Jersey. It preserves fossils such as plants and molluscs dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Sandy Hook Formation is a geologic formation in New Jersey. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The South Amboy Fire Clay Group is a geologic group in New Jersey. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Tinton Formation is a geologic formation in New Jersey. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous-Paleocene periods, such as ammonites.
The Monmouth Group is a geologic group in New Jersey. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Tuscaloosa Formation is a geologic formation in Alabama. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Prairie Bluff Chalk is a geologic formation in Alabama and Mississippi. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Coleraine Formation is a geologic formation in Minnesota. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Windrow Formation is a geologic formation in Minnesota named after Windrow Bluff on Fort McCoy, Monroe County, Wisconsin. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Del Rio Clay is a geologic formation in Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Edwards Group is a geologic group in Texas. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Benton Shale is a geologic formation in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. It preserves fossils dating to the Cretaceous Period. The term Benton Limestone has also been used to refer to the chalky portions of the strata, especially the upper beds of the strata presently classified as Greenhorn Limestone. The Benton classification is obsolete in some regions, having been replaced by the ascending sequence Graneros Shale, Greenhorn Limestone, and Carlile Shale.
The Belle Fourche Formation or Belle Fourche Shale is a fossiliferous early Late-Cretaceous geologic formation classification in Wyoming. Named for outcrops in Belle Fourche River, Wyoming, this unit name is also used in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
The Aspen Shale is a geologic formation in Wyoming. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
The Sage Junction Formation is a geologic formation in Idaho. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period.
Anatolemys is an extinct turtle genus in the family Macrobaenidae. Two species are known, both of which lived in the Late Cretaceous. Fossils were discovered in the Yalovach Formation of Tajikistan, the Kulbikin Member and Khodzhakul and Bissekty Formations of Uzbekistan and the Bostobe Formation of Kazakhstan.
