Allaru Formation, Geological formation in Queensland, Australia.
The Allaru Formation extends across the Eromanga Basin with layers of mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, and limestone reaching 700 meters in thickness.
The formation developed during the Early Cretaceous period, between 112 and 100 million years ago, when marine environments dominated the Australian landscape.
Scientists study the formation's diverse fossil assemblages, including dinosaur remains, marine reptiles, and fish species, to understand ancient Australian ecosystems.
Located at coordinates -24.8673 latitude and 146.239 longitude, researchers access the formation through designated geological survey points in Queensland.
The formation contains preserved stomach contents of marine reptiles, including crustacean and fish remains, along with numerous gastroliths within articulated specimens.
