East Berlin Formation


The East Berlin Formation is an Early Jurassic geological formation in New England. Dinosaur footprints and trackways are abundant in this formation. These tracks include Eubrontes, Anchisauripus, and Anomoepus. Several museums, parks, and tourist attractions are based around the East Berlin Formation's dinosaur tracks, including Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill, Connecticut and Powder Hill Dinosaur Park in Middlefield, Connecticut.
Although the East Berlin Formation was originally intended to apply to the Hartford Basin of Connecticut and Massachusetts, equivalent strata is found elsewhere in the Newark Supergroup. Equivalent formations include the Waterfall Formation, Towaco Formation, White Oaks Formation, and Turner Falls Sandstone.
