The La Casita Formation is a geologic formation in Mexico. It preserves fossils dating back to the Kimmeridgian to lowermost Berriasian.[1][2] It is laterally equivalent to the La Caja Formation[3] and the Pimienta Formation. The ichthyosaurs Jabalisaurus[4] and Acuetzpalin are known from the formation,[5] as well as the metriorhynchid Dakosaurus[6] and indeterminate pliosaurs.[7]
