Kadzi Formation

The Kadzi Formation is a geological formation in Zimbabwe whose strata date back to the Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic. The conglomeratic sandstones and silty mudstones of the formation were deposited in an alluvial environment.^[1] Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.^[2]
