Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox rockunit
The Almond Formation is a geological formation of Late Cretaceous (Late Campanian-Early Maastrichtian[1]) age in Wyoming. It was deposited in marsh, deltaic, lagoonal, estuarine, and shallow marine environments along the western shore of the Western Interior Seaway. It consists primarily of fine- to medium-grained sandstone, siltstone, shale, and coal.[2] Fossils from the Almond Formation include remains of dinosaurs[3] and plants.[4]
