Geography
| Country: | Russian Federation | State/province: | Zabaykal'ye | County: | Chernyshevskiy |
| Coordinates: | 52.5° North, 116.7° East (view map) | ||||
| Paleocoordinates: | 58.0° North, 117.2° East | ||||
| Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map | ||||
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Jurassic |
| Key time interval: | Late/Upper Bathonian - Late/Upper Jurassic |
| Age range of interval: | 168.20000 - 145.00000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Ukureyskaya | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Two distinct bonebeds at base of formation. Bonebed 4 is older than Bonebed 3. Both from lower part of formation. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | tuffaceous,gray siltstone |
| Secondary lithology: | planar lamination lithified claystone |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: "Bonebed 3…a gray, silty matrix. [Bonebed 4] comprises a finely laminated, organic-rich claystone and is completely devoid of interspersed quartz grains." | |
| Environment: | lacustrine - large |
| Geology comments: The dinosaur bones are associated with abundant, well-preserved fossils of plants, insect larvae, and freshwater crustaceans that suggest deposition in a low-energy, probably lacustrine, freshwater environment. The sequence includes tuff deposits and ignimbrites that indicate local volcanic activity | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body,adpression,soft parts,replaced with hematite |
| Degree of concentration: | -bonebed |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils,mesofossils |
| Preservation of anatomical detail: | excellent |
| Fragmentation: | occasional |
