The Rolling Downs Group is a stratigraphic group of the Eromanga Basin in the northwestern to southwestern parts of Australia,[1] which was deposited between the mid Barremian to early Turonian of the Cretaceous period. It is notable for its fossil content including many dinosaurs and mammals, including a possible dicynodont.[2]
