The Vigla Formation is an Lower Cretaceous geologic formation found mostly in Albania and Greece.
During the Late Cretaceous Epoch, the uplifted margins of grabens caused erosion of the pre-existing deposits of the Vigla Formation.
Fossil content The Vigla Formation contains radiolarian fossils dated to the late Barremian to middle Albian of the Cretaceous period.Vigla Formation at Fossilworks.org Polycystina
