The Moreno Hill Formation is a geological formation in western New Mexico whose strata were deposited in the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[2] The age of the formation is dated between approximately 90.9 to 88.6 million years ago based on detrital zircons.[1]
