Bissett Formation
The Bissett Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation. Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation. The Bissett was first mapped and named by Philip B. King in 1927. King's stratigraphic reckoning described the Bissett as a Permian deposition. E.C. Case changed the age determination in the 1930s to Triassic based on a photo of what he believed to be a fossil fragment of a desmatosuchus. The fossil discoveries positively place the age of the Bissett formation as early Cretaceous, approximately 115 million years ago.
