Nemegt Formation
The Nemegt Formation (or Nemegtskaya Svita) is a geological formation in the Gobi desert of Mongolia, dating from the Late Cretaceous. It overlies and sometimes interfingers with the Barun Goyot Formation. Interfingering has been noted at the stratotype (Red Walls) and Khermeen Tsav. It consists of river channel sediments and contains fossils of fishturtlescrocodiliansbirds and a diverse fauna of dinosaurs. The climate associated with it was wetter than when preceding formations were deposited; there seems to have existed at least some degree of forest cover. Fossilized trunks have been also found.
