Aguja Formation

The Aguja Formation is a geological formation in North America, exposed in Texas, whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.〔Weishampel, David B; et al. (2004). "Dinosaur distribution (Late Cretaceous, North America)." In: Weishampel, David B.; Dodson, Peter; and Osmólska, Halszka (eds.): The Dinosauria, 2nd, Berkeley: University of California Press. Pp. 574-588. ISBN 0-520-24209-2.〕
==Age==
The ages of the Aguja Formation and its primary fossil-bearing unit, the Upper Shale, are not well understood. Two radiometric dates have been taken from different sections of the upper shale, yielding ages of 72.6 Ma +/- 1.5 Ma old, and 76.9 Ma +/- 1.2 Ma old, respectively. The contact with the overlying Javelina Formation has been estimated at about 70 Ma ago〔Woodward, H. N. (2005). Bone histology of the sauropod dinosaur Alamosaurus sanjuanensis from the Javelina Formation, Big Bend National Park, Texas.〕 but also as recently as 68.5 million years ago.〔Sankey, J. (2010). Faunal composition and significance of high–diversity, mixed bonebeds containing ''Agujaceratops mariscalensis'' and other dinosaurs, Aguja Formation (Upper Cretaceous), Big Bend, Texas. In New Perspectives on Horned Dinosaurs: The Royal Tyrrell Museum Ceratopsian Symposium (pp. 520-537).〕 The base of the entire Aguja Formation has been estimated at about 80.5 million years old.〔Sullivan, R.M., and Lucas, S.G. 2006.
