The Goio-Erê Formation is a geological formation in Brazil. It is sometimes thought to be deposited between the Turonian and Campanian stages of the Late Cretaceous,^[1] but an Aptian-Albian date has also been proposed.^[2] It primarily consists of sandstone and was deposited in a desert environment. It is known for its exceptional 3-D preservation of fossils, which include those of the pterosaurs Keresdrakon^[1] and Caiuajara,^[3] the dinosaur Berthasaura^[2] as well as the iguanian lizard Gueragama.^[4] It is laterally equivalent to the .
