The formation belongs to the Mendoza Group and is Late Berriasian to Early Valanginian in age. The formation is renowned for preserving fossil remains of Bajadasaurus pronuspinax, a genus of dicraeosaurid dinosaurs named after the formation.

The contact with the Agrio Formation is discordant and the unconformity has been dated to 134 Ma.[2] The formation is laterally equivalent with the Mulichinco Formation.[3] The formation comprises red and greenish-brown, fine to coarse grained conglomerates and thick-bedded sandstones with well-developed bands of light brown siltstones and reddish, pinkish grey and purple-reddish claystones.[4] The formation was deposited in a fluvial environment, and the paleoenviroment resembled a braided river system with well-preserved channels and paleosols.[5]X-ray diffraction studies of sediments belonging to the Bajada Colorada Formation have revealed the presence of smectite, chlorite, illite and kaolinite.[1]Fossil content[edit]The formation has provided fossils of:[6][7]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4See also[edit]References[edit]^ a b Moyano Boh\u00f3rquez, 2004^ Leanza, 2005, p.151^ Howell et al., 2005, p.4^ Leanza et al., 2011, p.120^ Gallina et al., 2014, p.2^ Bajada Colorada locality at Fossilworks.org^ Canale, Juan I.; Apestegu\u00eda, S.; Gallina, P.A.; Gianechini, F.A.; Haluza, A.
