Bajocian

In the geologic timescale, the Bajocian is an age and stage in the Middle Jurassic.

See Colalura Sandstone and Bajocian

Champion Bay Group

The Champion Bay Group is a stratigraphic group in Australia, it was deposited in the Bajocian stage of the Middle Jurassic. Colalura Sandstone and Champion Bay Group are Bajocian Stage, geologic formations of Australia, geology of Western Australia, Jurassic System of Australia, Sandstone formations and Shallow marine deposits.

Conglomerate (geology)

Conglomerate is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of a substantial fraction of rounded to subangular gravel-size clasts.

See Colalura Sandstone and Conglomerate (geology)

Dinosaur

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria.

See Colalura Sandstone and Dinosaur

Geological formation

A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).

See Colalura Sandstone and Geological formation

List of stratigraphic units with few dinosaur genera

This list of stratigraphic units with few non-avian dinosaur genera includes Mesozoic stratigraphic units of formation rank or higher that have produced dinosaur body fossils which have been referred to at most five genera.

See Colalura Sandstone and List of stratigraphic units with few dinosaur genera

Lists of dinosaur-bearing stratigraphic units

This list of dinosaur-bearing rock formations is a list of geologic formations in which dinosaur fossils have been documented.

See Colalura Sandstone and Lists of dinosaur-bearing stratigraphic units

Middle Jurassic

The Middle Jurassic is the second epoch of the Jurassic Period.

See Colalura Sandstone and Middle Jurassic

Mudrock

Mudrocks are a class of fine-grained siliciclastic sedimentary rocks.

See Colalura Sandstone and Mudrock

Newmarracarra Limestone

The Newmarracarra Limestone is a Bajocian geologic formation, in Western Australia. Colalura Sandstone and Newmarracarra Limestone are Bajocian Stage, geologic formations of Australia, geology of Western Australia, Jurassic System of Australia and Shallow marine deposits.

Ozraptor

Ozraptor (meaning "Australian thief") is a genus of possibly abelisauroid theropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) Colalura Sandstone of Australia, known from fragmentary remains.

Perth Basin

The Perth Basin is a thick, elongated sedimentary basin in Western Australia. Colalura Sandstone and Perth Basin are geology of Western Australia.

Petrified wood

Petrified wood (from Ancient Greek πέτρα meaning 'rock' or 'stone'; literally 'wood turned into stone'), is the name given to a special type of fossilized wood, the fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation.

See Colalura Sandstone and Petrified wood

Plesiosaur

The Plesiosauria (Greek: πλησίος, plesios, meaning "near to" and ''sauros'', meaning "lizard") or plesiosaurs are an order or clade of extinct Mesozoic marine reptiles, belonging to the Sauropterygia.

See Colalura Sandstone and Plesiosaur

Sandstone

Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains, cemented together by another mineral.

See Colalura Sandstone and Sandstone

Sauropoda

Sauropoda, whose members are known as sauropods (from sauro- + -pod, 'lizard-footed'), is a clade of saurischian ('lizard-hipped') dinosaurs.

See Colalura Sandstone and Sauropoda

Shale

Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock formed from mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals (hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, e.g. kaolin, Al2Si2O5(OH)4) and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite.

See Colalura Sandstone and Shale

Siltstone

Siltstone, also known as aleurolite, is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed mostly of silt.

See Colalura Sandstone and Siltstone

Vertebrate

Vertebrates are deuterostomal animals with bony or cartilaginous axial endoskeleton — known as the vertebral column, spine or backbone — around and along the spinal cord, including all fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

See Colalura Sandstone and Vertebrate

Western Australia

Western Australia (WA) is a state of Australia occupying the western third of the land area of the Australian continent.
