The Lourinhã Formation is a geological formation in western Portugal, named for the municipality of Lourinhã, from which a wide array of fossils comes. The formation is Late Jurassic in age (Kimmeridgian/Tithonian) and is notable for containing a fauna similar to that of the Morrison Formation in the United States and the Tendaguru beds in Tanzania. Besides the fossil bones, Lourinhã Formation is well known for the fossil tracks〔A three-dimensionally preserved sauropod manus impression from the Upper Jurassic of Portugal: implications for sauropod manus shape and locomotor mechanics.

The study created a cladogram showing the possible relations of all Portuguese dinosaurs, including those at the time known from the Lourinhã Formation. |label2=Ornithopoda |2= }} }} }} |label2=Saurischia |2= }} |label2=Theropoda |2= }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lourinhã Formation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
