The Bell Springs is a member of the Nugget Sandstone in Wyoming and a formation in Utah.[1] It is a Late Triassic (Norian to Rhaetian)[2] Fossil theropod tracks assigned to Agialopous wyomingensis have been reported from the formation.[3][4]

The formation composed of very fine grained limy sandstone that is distinguished from upper part of Nugget by presence of red to purple-red shale and lime cemented siltstone in beds less than 0.1 ft thick and by presence of calcareous firmly indurated beds 1-4 ft thick that are ripple laminated and weather to square faced ledges. May correlate with upper part of Chinle Formation. [5]
