The '''Lura Formation''' is a geological [[Formation (geology)|formation]] in western China, which outcrops in [[Tibet]], whose strata date back to the [[Early Cretaceous]]. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.<ref name="cretaceousdistribution">Weishampel, David B; et al. (2004).
