The '''Bhuj Formation''' is a [[Mesozoic]] ([[Tithonian]] to [[Aptian]]) geologic [[Formation (geology)|formation]] in [[India]]. Fossil [[sauropod]] tracks and tracks from the [[ichnogenus|ichnogenera]] ''[[Skolithos]]'', ''[[Diplocraterion]]'', ''[[Pholeus]]'' and ''[[Planolites]]'' have been reported from the formation.<ref name="dinosaurdistribution">Weishampel, et al.
