Chilgog Formation

The Chilgog Formation, also known as the Chilgok Formation, is an Early Cretaceous geologic formation in South Korea. Formerly dated to the Berriasian to Hauterivian, later dating has established an Albian age. Dinosaur remains from this formation are actually from the Iljig Formation, which correlates with the lower part of the Chilgog Formation.
