The Gerhartsreiter Schichten is a Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian age) geologic formation with outcrops in Bavaria, Germany.
Fossils content Dinosaur remains, including those of an indeterminate hadrosaur,Wellnhofer P. (1994) - Ein Dinosaurier (Hadrosauridae) aus der Oberkreide (Maastricht, Helvetikum-Zone) des bayerischen Alpenvorlandes. Mitteilungen der Bayerischen Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und historisches Geologie, 34:221-238. are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.Weishampel, et al. (2004). "Dinosaur distribution." Pp. 517-607.
