Jindong Formation, Geological formation in Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea.
The Jindong Formation contains multiple layers of fine-grained sedimentary rocks, including mudstone, siltstone, and sandstone, stretching across the southern Korean landscape.
Dating back to the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous period, this formation developed approximately 99.9 million years ago through volcanic and sedimentary processes.
Scientists and researchers from various countries gather at the Jindong Formation to study its extensive collection of dinosaur and bird tracks.
Visitors need specialized permits and geological expertise to access and study the formation, which requires coordination with local geological authorities.
The formation houses the first discovered trackway of Hadrosauropodus kyoungsookimi, a quadrupedal ornithopod dinosaur species identified in Korean territory.
