The Cedar Mountain Formation is a North American geological formation which is found in east-central Utah and a small part of western Colorado. This formation dates to the early and middle Cretaceous Period, spanning about 144 to 95 million years ago, and it provides our clearest understanding of what prehistoric life was like in North America following the end of the Jurassic Period.

I got into the paleo-biology of the Cedar Mountain Formation in early February 2022, and I’ve written several articles and done numerous drawings of animals which lived in this formation. I have decided to post a complete list of all of my Cedar Mountain Formation themed pieces for easy reference. Each one of the links posted here will take to you the article:
