The Salagou Formation is a geologic formation in France. It preserves fossils dating back to the Permian period.[1]
The Salagou Formation is a fine-grained loessite which is a deposit of red mudstone. It was created by the Montage Noire Dome.[1]
In 2015, a number of new insects were discovered in the Salagou Formation including Paleomanteidae and reclassification of Permobaharellus salagousensis, Lodevophlebia reticulata (Sylvaphlebiidae), and Oborella lodevensis (Euryptilonidae) based on found wing patterns.
