The Shengjinkou Formation is an Early Cretaceous (Aptian)-aged geologic formation composed of "interbedded red green and yellow variegated mudstones and siltstones" that is part of the larger Tugulu Group of China.[1][2] Dinosaur[3] and pterosaur remains have been recovered from it.[4][5]
The Shengjikou Formation was first identified in a 1956 manuscript by Xia Gongjun[citation needed] and the type locality of the Shengjinkou Formation is close to Turpan City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.[5]
