Period: 
Cretaceous

Age Interval: 
Late Cretaceous (S-4, S-5, S-11)


Province: 
Siberia southeast

Type Locality and Naming

Khor-Dalnin and the Okrainskoe zones of central Sikhote-Alin uplift. Plus Arseniev depression of southern Primorye Basin (S-11; NW of Vladivostok)


Lithology and Thickness

No details given yet. Based on regional patterns and underlying facies, then probably volcanics and sediments.


Lithology Pattern: 
Volcanics


Relationships and Distribution

Lower contact

In Khor-Dalnin and the Okrainskoe zones of central Sikhote-Alin uplift, it is underlain by un-named unit of Tuffs, siltstones, interbeds of coal; then major disconformity onto Klenovka Fm or Kholminka Fm. In Arseniev depression of southern Primorye Basin (S-11; NW of Vladivostok), it is disconformable onto the Primorye Gr.

Upper contact

Not given for Khor-Dalnin and the Okrainskoe zones of central Sikhote-Alin uplift. In Arseniev depression of southern Primorye Basin (S-11; NW of Vladivostok), is it conformably overlain by un-named unit of Rhyolites, tuff breccia, ignimbrites
