Lameta Formation

Lameta Formation

The Lameta Formation is a sedimentary rock formation found in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, India. It is of Maastrichtian age (Upper Cretaceous), and is notable for its dinosaur fossils. Many dubious names have been created for isolated bones, but several genera of dinosaurs from these rocks are well-supported, including the titanosaur sauropod "Isisaurus" and the abelisaurs "Indosaurus", "Indosuchus", "Laevisuchus", and "Rajasaurus".cite book |last=Weishampel |first=David B. |authorlink=David B.
