El Gallo Formation

The El Gallo Formation is a geological formation in Mexico whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous, from the Santonian to the Maastrichtian. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.

Indeterminate theropod, coelurosaur, dromaeosaurid, tyrannosaurid, hadrosaurid, and ankylosaurid remains are known from the formation. Dinosaur eggs are known from the formation. Alexornis antecedens actually comes from the La Bocana Roja Formation. An indeterminate hadrosaurine is known from the formation. Potential Hypacrosaurus remains have been unearthed here.

The diversity of lipodosaurs in El Gallo fomation is scarce. However, the Polyglyohanodontian Dicothon bajaensis is by far the lizard with an important fossil record for this formation .

An indeterminate albanerpetontid is known from the formation.
