The Okurodani Formation is an
Early Cretaceous geologic
formation in central
Honshu,
Japan. Part of the
Tetori Group, it primarily consists of freshwater continental sediments deposited in a floodplain environment, with occasional volcanic
tuffite horizons. It has an uncertain age, probably dating between the
Hauterivian and
Aptian.[1] An indeterminate
iguanodontian dinosaur tooth has been recovered from the formation. Many other fossil vertebrates are known from the KO2 locality[2]
