Geological formation

The Mugher Mudstone Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation located in Ethiopia. It dates to the Tithonian stage of the Late Jurassic time period. Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.

An unnamed dromaeosaurine dromaeosaurid has been recovered from this formation. The discoverers proved it to be a dromaeosaurine, and not a velociraptorine, based on its low DSDI ratio.
