Also known as Polish-Mongolian Palaeontological Expedition
Where: Omngov, Mongolia (44.0° N, 104.0° E: paleocoordinates 41.7° N, 93.0° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
When: Djadokhta Formation, Late/Upper Campanian (83.5 - 70.6 Ma)
• Dashzeveg et al. 2005: The quick stratigraphic succession of normal and reversed magnetozones suggests, but does not clearly establish, that the sediments may have been deposited during the rapid sequence of polarity changes in the late part of the Campanian between about 75 to 71 Ma.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: eolian; red sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
