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

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 rterrestrial Turtle remains, Dinosaurs (including Birds), and Mammals have been found in the Formation.
