The Arundel Formation, also known as the Arundel Clay, is a clay-rich sedimentary rock formation, within the Potomac Group, found in Maryland of the United States of America. It is of Aptian age (Lower Cretaceous). This rock unit had been economically important as a source of iron ore, but is now more notable for its dinosaur fossils. It consists of clay lenses within depressions in the upper part of the Patuxent Formation that may represent oxbow swamp facies. It is named for Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

  • La formation d'Arundel est une formation géologique sédimentaire riche en argiles, que l'on trouve dans le Maryland, aux États-Unis. Elle date de l'Aptien (Crétacé inférieur). Cette couche géologique a une importance économique du fait de la présence de fer en son sein, mais elle est surtout connue pour ses dinosaures fossilisés. Souvent considérée comme une formation, il pourrait s'agir en fait d'un simple faciès. (fr)
  • La Formazione di Arundel, nota anche come Argilla di Arundel, è una formazione rocciosa ricca di depositi argillosi sedimentari nel Gruppo del Potomac, scoperta in Maryland (Stati Uniti d'America. Essa risale all'Aptiano (Primo Cretaceo). Quest'unità rocciosa è stata economicamente sfruttata come fonte di minerali ferrosi, ma è ancora più famosa per i fossili di dinosauri ivi rinvenuti. Sebbene sia spesso considerata una formazione, potrebbe essere soltanto un ripiegamento del Gruppo di Potomac. (it)
