The Maevarano Formation is a Late Cretaceous sedimentary rock formation found in the Mahajanga Province of northwestern Madagascar. It is most likely Maastrichtian in age, and records a seasonal, semiarid environment with rivers that had greatly varying discharges. Notable animal fossils recovered include the theropod dinosaur Majungasaurus, the early bird Vorona, the paravian Rahonavis, the titanosaurian sauropod Rapetosaurus, and the giant frog Beelzebufo.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Maevarano-Formation ist eine Abfolge kontinentaler Sedimentgesteine der Oberkreide in Madagaskar und eine bedeutende Fossilfundstätte. Diese geologische Formation wurde fluviatil, also in einem Flusssystem, abgelagert. (de)
  • La formación Maevarano es una formación de rocas sedimentarias del Cretácico superior situado en la provincia de Mahajanga, en el noroeste de Madagascar. De edad Maastrichtiense, consiste en sedimentos de un ambiente fluvial semiárido y estacional, cuyos ríos poseían una tasa de descarga muy variable. Es un yacimiento paleontológico, con fósiles como el dinosaurio terópodo Majungasaurus, el saurópodo Rapetosaurus, la rana gigante Beelzebufo o las aves primitivas Rahonavis y Vorona. (es)

  • La Formazione Maevarano è una formazione geologica situata nella Provincia di Mahajanga, in Madagascar, Africa e risalente al Cretaceo superiore, 70-65.8 milioni di anni fa (Maastrichtiano). Questa formazione mostra che l'ambiente del Madagascar del Cretaceo superiore aveva un clima che comprendeva stagioni aride e secche seguite da stagioni delle piogge abbondanti. Tra gli animali più famosi rinvenuti all'interno della formazione vi sono il dinosauro teropode Majungasaurus, il primitivo uccello Vorona, il dromaeosauride volante Rahonavis, il sauropode titanosauro Rapetosaurus e la rana gigante Beelzebufo.
