Batylykh Formation
The Batylykh Formation is a geological formation in Yakutia, Russia. It is of an uncertain Early Cretaceous age, probably dating between the Berriasian and the Barremian. It is the oldest unit of the 1500 metre thick Sangar Series within the Vilyuy syneclise. It is best known for the Teete locality, which has revealed remains of numerous vertebrates, including sauropod[1], and other dinosaur teeth as well as numerous species of mammal, including Sangarotherium, Khorotherium[2] and tritylodontid Xenocretosuchus[3]. as well as choristodere Khurendukhosaurus.[4]
