The Grès de Saint-Chinian is a geological formation in Aude and Hérault, France whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.Weishampel, David B; et al. (2004). "Dinosaur distribution (Late Cretaceous, Europe)." In: Weishampel, David B.; Dodson, Peter; and Osmólska, Halszka (eds.): The Dinosauria, 2nd, Berkeley: University of California Press. Pp. 588-593. .
Vertebrate paleofauna Grès de Saint-Chinian outcrops in Département de L'Herault have produced dinosaur eggs, along with the indeterminate remains of avialans, enantiornithes, and possible indeterminate abelisaurids.
