Cedar Mountain Formation, Geological formation in Colorado and Utah, United States
The Cedar Mountain Formation contains layers of conglomerate, sandstone, and mudstone spanning over 1000 meters in thickness across eastern Utah and Colorado.
William Lee Stokes first documented the formation in 1944, naming it after Cedar Mountain in northern Emery County, Utah during his geological research.
Scientists continuously study this formation to understand Early Cretaceous dinosaur distribution and evolution through numerous fossil discoveries within its layers.
Researchers access the formation through designated areas in national parks, following established protocols for geological and paleontological investigations.
The formation preserves two distinct dinosaur groups in its lower and upper sections, reflecting continental plate movements during the Early Cretaceous period.
