Serra da Galga Formation
The Serra da Galga Formation is a geological formation in Minas Gerais state of southeastern Brazil. Its strata date back to the Maastrichtian, and are part of the Bauru Group. It was originally considered a member of the Marília Formation.
Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
The Serra da Galga formation is interpreted as having been deposited under a hot, dry climate. The formation is considered to be of a Late Maastrichtian age.
Three distinct titanosaurids denoted as forms A, B, and C have been found in Area 4. Titanosaurine remains are known from Areas 1 and 2. Indeterminate theropod remains known from Area 1. Indeterminate maniraptor remains known from Area 1. Indeterminate abelisaurid remains are known from Areas 1 and 2. Enantiornithines have also been recovered. An indeterminate abelisauroid tibia, potentially referrable to noasauridae, is known as well.
