Aguja Formation, Geological formation in West Texas, United States.
The Aguja Formation contains layers of sandstone and siltstone that extend across the landscapes of western Texas and northern Mexico.
The formation dates to the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 81.5 to 76.9 million years ago, as evidenced by ammonite fossils.
Scientists and researchers from multiple institutions conduct field studies at the formation to understand North American geological patterns.
The formation spans several hundred feet in thickness and includes distinct layers of sandstone, clay, and lignite for geological examination.
Fossils of dinosaurs, including hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, along with ancient palms have been discovered within the formation's strata.
