The Shuttle Meadow Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation in the Hartford Basin of Connecticut and Massachusetts, part of the sedimentary record deposited in this rift basin during the age of dinosaurs. Fossils recovered from it include the insect Mormolucoides articulatus and dinosaur remains referred to Coelophysis sp. These discoveries make the formation paleontologically important as one of the dinosaur-bearing rock formations in the northeastern United States.
