"Colorado Formation" or "Rio Colorado Formation" ??[edit]

A person with access to Weishampel et al. (2004) needs to carefully check to see if the Colorado Formation, which is the subject of this articles actually exists. From what what I have been able to find, the Colorado Formation of this article might actually be the Rio Colorado Formation, which already has a separate article. If this is this is the case, this article should either be deleted or merged with it.

The Colorado Formation looks like it is a real stratigraphic unit. However, Weishampel et al. (2004) appears to be a highly unsuitable citation for it. Paul H. (talk) 03:27, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Colorado Formation of Grellet-Tinner et al. (2012) and Casadio et al. (2002), mentioned above, is the formation discussed in this article. However, someone, who can read Spanish, will have to do the research needed to expand this article from its current state as a stub. Paul H. (talk) 18:09, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
