The Golden Valley Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Late Paleocene to Early Eocene age in the Williston Basin of North Dakota.[3] It is present in western North Dakota and was named for the city of Golden Valley by W.E. Benson and W.M. Laird in 1947.[2] It preserves significant assemblages of fossil plants[3] and vertebrates,[4] as well as mollusk and insect fossils.[3][4]
