The Tahora Formation is a Late Cretaceous geologic formation. Indeterminate Dinosaur remains have been recovered from the formation, including indeterminate Joan Wiffen's Theropod, Titanosaur, Nodosaurid, and Hypsilophodont Dinosaurs of New Zealand remains.〔Weishampel, et al.

The humerus of a pterosaur very similar to the Australian ''Mythunga'' has also been found. All of the finds at the Tahora Formation are from the Cretaceous period, and have all been found by amateur palaeontologist Joan Wiffen and her fossil-hunting team. ==See also== * List of dinosaur-bearing rock formations * * List of stratigraphic units with indeterminate dinosaur fossils 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「Tahora Formation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
