Gokwe
Description
Source: Wikipédia
The Gokwe Formation is an Early Cretaceous geologic formation in Zimbabwe. Remains of an indeterminate abelisaurid theropod dinosaur, represented by teeth and vertebrae, are known from the formation. Titanosaur remains are also known. Sediments of the formation may have been laid down in a small shallow lake, carried by intermittent floods from a land surface surrounding the lake on which aeolian transport of sand took place. More likely the animals died on a dry lake bed, and their bones were exposed to a period of desiccation, later floods would scatter the fragments and incorporate them in sediment.
