The Cambridge Greensand is a geological unit in England whose strata are earliest
Cenomanian in age.[1] It lies above the
erosive contact between the
Gault Formation and the
Chalk Group in the vicinity of
Cambridgeshire, and technically forms the lowest member bed of the West Melbury Marly Chalk Formation.[2] It is a remanié deposit, containing
reworked fossils of late
Albian age, including those of dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
