The Fengjiahe Formation is a geological formation in China. It dates back to the Early Jurassic, most likely to the Pliensbachian. The formation is up to 1500 metres thick and consists of "purple-red mudstone and argillaceous siltstone interbedded with gray-green and yellow-green quartz sandstone and feldspathic quartz sandstone"
