The Upper Maleri Formation is a sedimentary rock formation found in Andhra Pradesh, India. It is one of the formations of the Pranhita–Godavari Basin. It is of late Norian and possibly earliest Rhaetian ages (Late Triassic), and is notable for its fossils of early dinosaurs.

Vertebrate fauna

Angistorhinus sp., cf. Leptosuchus, Aetosauria indet., a guaibasaurid (ISI R277) and 2 basal dinosauriforms (ISI R282, 284) have also been recovered from it.[1]{{paleobiota-key-compact}}
Dinosaurs reported from the Upper Maleri Formation
Genus Species Location Stratigraphic position Material Notes Images
Jaklapallisaurus[1] J. assymetrica Andhra Pradesh ISI R274, postcranial material.[1] A plateosaurid, also found in the Lower Dharmaram Formation.
Nambalia[1] N. roychowdhurii Andhra Pradesh ISI R273, including partial postcrania of at least three individuals of different sizes found closely associated.[1] A basal sauropodomorph

Correlations

The formation has been correlated with the Forest Sandstone of Africa, the lower Caturrita Formation of the Paraná Basin in Brazil, the upper Ischigualasto Formation and lower Los Colorados Formation of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin of Argentina, and the Chinle Formation of North America.[2]
