The Balabansai Formation (sometimes
transcribedBalabansay,[1] also known as Balabansai Svita) is a geological
formation in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan whose strata date back to the
Bathonian and
Callovian stages of the
Middle Jurassic. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[2] The lithology primarily consists of variegated sandstones, siltstones, claystones, and rare gravels and marls.[3] Many taxa have been found in the formation, including amphibians[4] and mammals.[5]
