Geological formation in the southern United States
The Eutaw Formation is a geological formation in North America , within the U.S. states of Alabama , Georgia , and Mississippi . The strata date from the late Coniacian to the early Santonian stage of the Late Cretaceous .[ 1] Dinosaur , mosasaur , and pterosaur remains have been recovered from the Eutaw Formation.[ 2] [ 3]
