The Almond Formation is a geological formation of Late Cretaceous (Late Campanian-Early Maastrichtian[1]) age in Wyoming. It was deposited in marsh, deltaic, lagoonal, estuarine, and shallow marine environments along the western shore of the Western Interior Seaway. It consists primarily of fine- to medium-grained sandstone, siltstone, shale, and coal.[2] Fossils from the Almond Formation include remains of dinosaurs[3] and plants.[4]

Unnamed

Misidentified as Anchiceratops, it is actually a new species of Pentaceratops-like form that is the sister taxon to Bisticeratops.[9] Holotype was discovered in 1937.

Other vertebrates

Non-dinosaur vertebrates found in the Almond Formation include crocodyliforms (indet.), turtles (Adocus cf. and Basilemys cf.), and ray-finned fish (Ichthyodectidae indet.).[10]
