The Humpata Plateau (Portuguese: Planalto da Humpata) is an elevated plateau and highlands region in southwest Angola, [1] part of the larger Huíla Plateau.

[4] Only a couple of terrestrial fossils have been collected, including the unique dinosaur Angolatitan adamastor .
Fossils may be found either associated with a geological formation or at a single geographic site. Geological formations consist of rock that was deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend for large areas, and sometimes there are different important sites in which the same formation is exposed.
