The Northumberland Formation is a Late Cretaceous (?Campanian-?Maastrichtian)-aged geologic formation in Canada. It belongs to the larger Nanaimo Group.[1] Indeterminate bird and pterosaur fossils have been recovered from the formation,[2] as well as a potential gladius of Eromangateuthis.[3] The Northumberland Formation has been known to science since at least 2008.
