The '''Tiki Formation''' is a [[Late Triassic]] ([[Carnian]] to [[Norian]]) geologic [[Formation (geology)|formation]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], northern [[India]]. [[Dinosaur]] remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific [[genus]].<ref name="Dinosaurdistribution" /> [[Phytosaur]] remains attributable to the genus ''[[Volcanosuchus]]'' have also been found in the Tiki Formation.<ref name=Chatterjee1978>Chatterjee, 1978</ref>

The genera ''[[Tikiodon]]'', ''[[Tikitherium]]'' and ''[[Tikisuchus]]'' and species ''[[Rewaconodon|Rewaconodon tikiensis]]'', ''[[Hyperodapedon|Hyperodapedon tikiensis]]'' and ''[[Parvodus|Parvodus tikiensis]]'' have been named after the Tiki Formation.

== Correlations ==
The Tiki Formation is considered a temporal equivalent of the [[Lower Maleri Formation]]. The majority of the Tiki Formation correlates with the [[Ischigualasto Formation]] of Argentina, the upper part of the [[Santa Maria Formation]], and the overlying lower [[Caturrita Formation]] of Brazil, the [[Isalo II|Isalo II Beds]] of Madagascar, [[Lossiemouth Sandstone]] of Scotland, and the lower [[Tecovas Formation]] of the [[Chinle Group]] of North America.
