Geography
Country: | Mongolia | State/province: | Övörkhangai Aymag | County: | Guchin Us |
Coordinates: | 42.5° North, 102.4° East (view map) | ||||
Paleocoordinates: | 43.0° North, 100.7° East | ||||
Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark | ||||
Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
Period: | Cretaceous | Epoch: | Early/Lower Cretaceous |
Key time interval: | Late/Upper Aptian - Early/Lower Albian | ||
Age range of interval: | 122.46000 - 109.00000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
Formation: | Dzunbain | ||||
Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: "Lower Cretaceous (possibly Aptian)" and from the Khukhtekskaya Svita = Dzunbayn = Dzunbain Formation according to Dashzeveg 1975, but "? Aptian or Albian" according to Wible et al. 2001. Shown in column as "Khobur" beds (Shuvalov, 1974).
Alifanov 2019: assumed to belong to the Hühteeg Horizon without formal assignment to any formation identified in Mongolia and are dated either to the Aptian age including the Albian age (Shuvalov, 2000) or to the late Aptian age and the entire Albian age (Lucas, 2006). According to our preliminary data, the Hühteeg Horizon corresponds to the time interval that includes the late Aptian and early Albian ages. |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | gray,yellow poorly lithified sandstone |
Secondary lithology: | red,blue claystone |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: from illustrated section column in Shuvalov 1974: "unconsolidated and weakly cemented sandstones" from K & K 1974: "an alternation, sometimes rhythmic, of gray sandstones, yellowish sands, blue and reddish clays. The bones were found in interlayers of sandstones, sands, and silts." | |

Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes: | some genera | ||
Collection methods: | bulk,sieve,field collection | ||
Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis | ||
Museum repositories: | PIN | ||
Collectors: | P. Kozlov, P. Khosbayar, SMPE, SMGE, MAE | Collection dates: | 1926; 1964; 1969–1972, 1991, 1997, 1999 |
Collection method comments: original collections consisted of "About seven tons of sediments... have been washed and screened" and the collection "is housed in the Palaeontological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences" under the charge of B. A. Trofimov | |||
Taxonomic list comments:Dashzeveg reports that four taxa have been "named but not described" by Trofimov in Beliayeva et al. 1974: Gobioconodon borissiaki, Gobiodon infinitus, Prokennalestes kozlovi, and Prozalambdalestes simpsoni numerous later papers by Trofimov, Kielan-Jaworowska, Dashzeveg, and others report the remaining fauna.
Kalandadze & Kurzanov 1974 list "five new forms" of Lacertilia; these are certainly among those named later and not included in the list. |
