The '''Kcskehát Limestone''' is a [[Jurassic]] geologic [[Formation (geology)|formation]] in Hungary. Indeterminate fossil [[Sauropod]] tracks have been reported from the formation. It is abundant on [[Illite]] and very little [[Kaolinite]] that indicates a change from the humid-subtropical climate of the [[Mecsek Coal Formation]] to the monsoon-like semi-arid climate of the [[Pliensbachian]] formations. The dominance of illite indicates a relatively fast erosion of the source area and a moderate input of terrigenous clastics relative to the underlying formations.<ref>Császár G., Szinger B., Piros O.
