Cerro del Pueblo Formation, Geological formation in Coahuila, Mexico.
The Cerro del Pueblo Formation consists of sedimentary rock layers spanning 160 meters in thickness, containing mudstone, sandstone, and limestone deposits.
This formation dates back to the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 73 million years ago, when the region bordered the Western Interior Seaway.
Scientists from the Institute of Geology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico conduct regular research expeditions to study the formation's characteristics.
The Desert Museum in Saltillo maintains extensive exhibits featuring fossils and geological specimens collected from the formation's various excavation sites.
The formation contains numerous hadrosaurid fossils, including specimens of Coahuilaceratops, the first formally described Mexican ceratopsian dinosaur.
