sign of a floodplain depositional environment, as standing water and waterlogged soil would be present for a substantial portion of the year. A prominent sandstone facies (with crossbedding, overbank deposits, and large pebbly deposits), thought to represent a large stream, is also present through much of the formation.

The Hoback
Formation was likely formed in a forested floodplain environment during a period of humid climate, as indicated by plentiful coal, carbonaceous shale, and fossilized plant remains. Many of the beds observed are dull in color, indicating that they formed in a reducing environment - another

Fossils found within the Hoback
Formation include bone fragments, turtles, larger mammals, molluscs, scales, fish teeth, and a wide variety of fossilized plant material (including fossilized wood). Signs of early Cenozoic crocodiles have also been found.
