The Bahia Group, also known as Bahia Series, is an Aptian geologic group of the Recôncavo Basin in Bahia, Brazil. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.[1] The conglomerates were deposited in an estuarine environment.[2]
