The Karabaglyar Formation is a geologic formation in Armenia and Azerbaijan. It preserves fossils dated to the Changhsingian age of the Permian period and the Induan age of the Triassic period, straddling the Permian-Triassic boundary.[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/displayStrata?geological_group=&formation=Karabaglyar&group_formation_member=Karabaglyar Karabaglyar Formation] at Fossilworks.org
