  Goio-Erê Formation (Brazil) | |
The Goio-Erê Formation is a geological formation in Brazil . It is sometimes thought to be deposited between the Turonian and Campanian stages of the Late Cretaceous,[1] but an Aptian-Albian date has also been proposed.[2] It primarily consists of sandstone and was deposited in a desert environment. It is known for its exceptional 3-D preservation of fossils, which include those of the pterosaurs Keresdrakon[1] and Caiuajara,[3] the dinosaur Berthasaura[2] as well as the iguanian lizard Gueragama.[4] It is laterally equivalent to the Rio Paraná Formation.
