The Alcobaça Formation, previously known as the Guimarota Formation and also known as the Consolação Unit,[1] is a geological formation in Portugal.[2] It dates back to the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic. It is an important source of information on the diversity of Late Jurassic mammals.[3][4] Many of the fossils were collected from the now disused and flooded Camadas de Guimarota coal mine.
