The Bauru Group is a geological formation in Brazil whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[1] The Bauru Group was divided by Fernandes and Coimbra (1996) in four formations, namely Adamantina, Uberaba Araçatuba and Marília.[2] In 1998, Fernandes revise the group and recognize six formations, Uberaba, Vale do Rio do Peixe, Araçatuba, São José do Rio Preto, Presidente Prudente and Marília.[3] The Adamantina Formation was divided in Vale do Rio do Peixe, São José do Rio Preto and Presidente Prudente formations.[3]
