The Mahadek Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in India. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.[1] Additionally, teeth similar to elasmobranch, as well as teeth and post cranial material of a reptile, identified as a mosasaur, are known from Krem Puri Caves rocks, which are also a part of this formation.[2][3]
