Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[1] The depositional environment is described as a crater lake where poorly lithified, concretionary conglomerate and volcaniclastic, intraclastic, calcareous mudstone were deposited under quiet subaqueous conditions, probably a "crater-fill succession above an olivine-melilitie intrusion".[2] Paleofauna
