The Tilougguit Formation, also known as the Tillouguit Formation, is an Early Bathonian geologic formation in Morocco. Fossils of an indeterminate sauropod are known from the formation,[1][2] in addition to fossil tracks made by a theropod and a quadrupedal dinosaur—either a stegosaur or a sauropod.[3]
