View of the badlands of the type locality for the North Horn Formation on North Horn Mountain.
Oxfordian (Upper Jurassic) cyclic sediments at Péry-Reuchenette, near Tavannes, kanton Bern, Switzerland. Alternating layers are limestone (light, more competent) and marl/clay; dominant cycle is the 200.000 year-cycle.
West of Chilton Chine The coastline west of the chine is accessible at lowish tides. The various rock strata in the Wealden Beds can be seen, with the chalk of Highdown Cliffs SZ3285 beyond.
Map of Cretaceous-aged dinosaur fossil localities of Mongolia. Gobihadros mongoliensis was collected from Bayshin Tsav in Area C. Open squares indicate Late Cretaceous sites, solid squares represent Early Cretaceous localities. Abbreviations: A, Localities of Western Gobi Desert in Mongolia, mainly group of localities of Nemegtian age (early Maastrichtian), Late Cretaceous; B, Localities of Central Gobi Desert in Mongolia, mainly Djadokhtian age (Campanian), Late Cretaceous; C & D- Localities of Eastern Gobi Desert in Mongolia, mainly Baynshirenian age (Cenomanian-Santonian), Late Cretaceous. Figure has been modified from Tsogtbaatar et al. 2014, Figure 1 [24].
Bexhill Brick Pit below Little Higher Wood in East Sussex, England. The cliff shows the layers of strata of the Hastings Beds with grey areas of Wadhurst Clay needed for the bricks and tiles. The buff/brown areas are sandstones.

The geological park of Aliaga (Teruel, Spain) is one of the most interesting geological zones of Aragon, a viewpoint of the last 200 million years of Earth's history.
Figure 2: Fossil vertebrate locality of Eric the Red West. Shore platform looking west, showing undulating erosive boundary (solid white line) between the top of the Anchor Sandstone (AS) and the base of the ETRW Sandstone (ES). White dashed lines indicate selected bedding surfaces. White scale in mid-ground (indicated by arrow) equals 1 m.
Restoration of the spinosaurid dinosaur Siamosaurus in the Sao Khua Formation palaeoenvironment, with Sunosuchus in the middle left and a herd of Phuwiangosaurus in the background. References: Siamosaurus based on tooth specimens [1] and the neural spine of a possibly referable skeleton[2], with other missing elements filled in with relatives (Suchomimus[3], Baryonyx[4], IchthyovenatorFile:Ichthyovenator_laosensis_skeletal_reconstruction_by_PaleoGeek.png). Phuwiangosaurus based on skeletal by Suteethorn et al. (2009)[5] and missing elements of skull of EuhelopusFile:Euhelopus.png. Sunosuchus based on Suteethorn and Ingavat (1983)[6] and missing elements based on Goniopholis[7].

A broken concretion with fossils inside; Late Cretaceous Pierre shale, near Ekalaka, Montana.
Oxford Clay (Jurassic) exposed near Weymouth, England.
Ornithopod trackway at the Villar del Arzobispo Formation
Beach and cliffs, Egmont Bight The grey cliffs here are of Upper Kimmeridge Clay, and prone to erosion by storm waves coming in from the south-west. The small rocks in the foreground are the eroded remains of the foot of a mudslide from the Houns-tout cliff.
Horseshoe Canyon Formation exposed in Horseshoe Canyon near Drumheller, Alberta
Exposure of the Two Medicine Formation near "Egg Mountain" in northern Montana.
Dinosaur Park Formation in Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta
The distictive banding of the Morrison Formation, a group of rock layers that occur throughout Dinosaur National Monument. The formation originated as muds and sands laid down by ancient rivers, and some of its outcrops have been found to contain 150-million-year-old dinosaur fossils like those found at the monument's Dinosaur Quarry.
Brandwag (the Sentinel) in the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, South Africa
Wide angle photo from the visitor’s walkway inside Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways, Australia. Here, the camera is pointing towards the south west corner of the building. On the top (in the far corner) is the natural landscape. In the middle ground of the photo, some of the overburden has been cleared. In the foreground is the dinosaur tracks.
Bituminous claystone, Lower Jurassic, Hesselberg, Middle Franconia. Sedimentary rock of very thin laminated layers (particles less than 0,0002 mm). Rock formation is known for its rich fossil findings, ex. Ichthyosaur.

Original figure caption: .mw-parser-output .smallcaps{font-variant:small-caps}The Middletown Slab covered with the Footprints of Carnivorous Dinosaurs. The tracks are in high relief. Additional notes: Most if not all of these tridactylous (i.e. three-toed) footprints/tracks (but not the actual trackmaker!) are referred to as Grallator or as Grallator-type trace fossils. “High relief” means that these are actually casts of footprints forming a positive relief on the lower surface of the sandstone slab (so-called positive hyporelief). The material that originally formed the mud over which the dinosaurs walked was too friable to be recovered from the quarry in one piece. The slab consists of so called ‘brownstone’ which is the trading name of the sandstone quarried at Middletown, Connecticut. This sandstone belongs to the Lower Jurassic Portland Formation of the Hartford Basin (“Connecticut Valley”) and thus to the upper part of the Newark Supergroup. The trackmakers probably were relatively small ‘primitive’ theropod dinosaurs (coelophysoids) such as Podokesaurus the remains of which were recovered from Lower Jurassic deposits of the Hartford Basin.
