The Moradi Formation is a geological formation in Niger. It is of Late Permian age. It is informally divided into three subunits. The lower portion of the formation consists of red mudstone, with muddy calcareous sandstone and quartz-granlule conglomerate present as lenses. The middle portion consists of muddy siltstone in thick beds interbedded with red argillaceous sandstone. The lower two thirds of the upper portion of the formation consist of red siltstone intercalated with channel lag intraformational conglomerates, while the upper third consists of barchanoid shaped lenses of conglomeratic sandstone with ventifacts. These facies are indicatived of deposition under arid conditions, with less than 300 millimetres (12 in) of annual rainfall in the Central Pangean desert, with annual tem

- De Moradi-formatie is een geologische formatie in Niger die afzettingen uit het Laat-Perm omvat. De Moradi-formatie ligt in het Izégouandane-bekken in het noordwesten van Niger. Dit gebied maakte in het Perm deel uit van het zuidelijke supercontinent Gondwana. In de Moradi-formatie zijn fossielen gevonden van de amfibieën Saharastega en Nigerpeton uit de Temnospondyli, de pareiasauriër Bunostegos, het captorhinide reptiel Moradisaurus en een dicynodont. Saharastega is het primitiefste bekende amfibie van Gondwana en verwant aan de Edopoidea van Euramerika. (nl)
