Tanis is a paleontological site in southwestern North Dakota, United States. It is part of the heavily studied Hell Creek Formation , a geological region renowned for many significant fossil discoveries from the Upper Cretaceous and lower Paleocene .
When a type locality is listed as the site for a formation with many good outcrops, the site is flagged with a note ([Note 2]). When a particular site of note is listed for an extensive fossil-bearing formation, but that site is somehow atypical, it is also flagged with a note ([Note 3]).
Tanis is unattested before the 19th Dynasty of Egypt, when it was the capital of the 14th nome of Lower Egypt.
