Udurchukan Formation
The Udurchukan Formation is a palaeontological formation located in Amur Region, Far East Russia.1 Based on palynomorphs such as Wodehouseia spinata the Udurchukan is considered of Maastrichtian age of the Upper Cretaceous, during the Cretaceous Period.
Inasmuch as Wodehouseia spinata and Aquillapollenites subtilis are known in the Americas only from the Late Maastrichtian, the presence of these palynomorphs in the Udurchukan caused Godefroit to consider the unit and its lambeosaur dominated fauna to be coeval with the Lance Formation and Hell Creek Formation. However, research in the Songliao basin indicates Wodehouseia spinata is also known from the early (albeit not basal) and middle Maastrichtian of Asia.
The latest view, appearing in the paper on comparative osteology of Edmontosaurus and Shantungosaurus, is that one Udurchukan Formation locality, Kundur, is late−early Maastrichtian; and the other, Blagoveschensk, is early−late Maastrichtian. The Udurchukan Formation now appears somewhat older than the Lance and Hell Creek, albeit not by much.
