The Aitym formation is a Geological formation in Uzbekistan which possibly dates to the Santonian stage of the Late Cretaceous period.

The formation has not been precisely dated, however, certain fossils suggest the formation as being deposited during the Santonian stage of the Late Cretaceous period. However, more study needs to be done in order to precisely date the formation.

Fossil Content

A diverse fauna has been unearthed from the Aitym formation including Oysters, Ammonites and many marine vertebrates, including a diverse and abundant assemblage of Chondrichthyans ( cartilagenous fish) and a rarer assemblage of Osteichthyans ( bony fish), as well as rather infrequent finds of Plesiosaurs, and possible finds of Sea Turtles. Terrestrial vertebrate remains are extremely rare in the formation. A few bones of Salamanders, Lizards, Crocodiles, possibly terrestrial Turtle remains, Dinosaurs (including Birds), and Mammals have been found in the Formation.
