• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Krivorechenskaya Formation, Albian to Albian (113.0 - 93.9 Ma)
• uppermost Albian to Lower Cenomanian
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: pond; siltstone
•pebbly,coarse-grained crevasse channel sandstone
•units,a siltstone bed occurs with roots and ma-
•ture trees in growth position.The tree tissues are
•poorly preserved.Sediments surrounding the tree
•trunks consist of massively bedded,poorly sorted,
•coarse-grained sandstone overlain by a gravelly
•sandstone at the level of the root flair.This in

•well-sorted siltstone with plant remains dominat-
•ed by Araucarites anadyrensis Krysht.shoots and
•branches.
