Haman Formation (South Korea)

The Haman Formation is an Early Cretaceous geological formation in South Korea. It has been dated to the Albian, with an estimated maximum depositional age of 105.4 ± 0.4 Ma.[1] The deposit is known for its tracks, including those of dinosaurs,[2][3] pterosaurs and birds.[4][5][6] It overlies the Silla Congomerate which overlies the Chilgok Formation. It is laterally equivalent to the Sagog Formation.[7]

Vertebrate paleofauna[]

Fossil pterosaur and theropod tracks have been recovered from the formation.
