Subashi Formation, Geological formation in Xinjiang, China.
The Subashi Formation contains red sandstone and mudstone layers extending across the Flaming Mountains region north of the Turpan Depression.
The formation dates back to the Late Cretaceous period, spanning from 84 to 66 million years ago when dinosaurs inhabited the region.
Scientists study the Subashi Formation to understand the ancient environments and life forms that existed in western China during prehistoric times.
Researchers access the formation near Lianmuqin Town in Shanshan County, approximately 15 kilometers east of Subashi village.
The formation preserves numerous dinosaur fossils, including Tarbosaurus remains and three distinct types of fossilized eggs from ancient reptiles.
