The Tiki Formation is a Late Triassic (Carnian to Norian) geologic 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. Phytosaur remains attributable to the genus Volcanosuchus have also been found in the Tiki Formation.Chatterjee, 1978
The genera Tikiodon, Tikitherium and Tikisuchus and species Rewaconodon, Hyperodapedon and Parvodus have been named after the Tiki Formation.
