Rosario Group
# Rosario Group

The Rosario Group is a Late Cretaceous geologic group in southwestern California (United States) and northwestern Baja California (Mexico). In older literature it was named Rosario Formation.

The Cretaceous aged formations of the Rosario Group include the Point Loma Formation, Cabrillo Formation and Lusardi Formation, in ascending order.

The sedimentary structures of the Rosario Group apparently were formed in a nearshore shelf environment, probably a local embayment.

## Fossils

Some incomplete dinosaur fossils have been discovered in the Point Loma Formation dating back to the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era.
