The Plottier Formation is a geologic formation that outcrops in the Argentine Patagonian provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén. It is the younger of two formations belonging to the Río Neuquén Subgroup within the Neuquén Group, with the oldest rocks dating from the late Coniacian and its youngest maybe from the very start of the Santonian. Formerly that subgroup was treated as a formation, and the Plottier Formation was known as the Plottier Member.
