Itat Formation, Geological formation in western Siberia, Russia
The Itat Formation consists of extensive sandstone and mudstone layers interspersed with substantial coal deposits throughout several hundred meters of thickness.
Dating back 170 to 166 million years to the Middle Jurassic period, this formation contains significant paleontological records including dinosaurs, fish, amphibians, and early mammals.
Scientists from multiple disciplines study the Itat Formation to understand the evolution of early mammals and the development of diverse species during the Jurassic period.
The Berezovsk coal mine, located in southern Krasnoyarsk Krai, provides access to numerous fossil specimens through open-pit mining operations.
Researchers discovered Itatodon tatarinovi and multiple other early mammal species within this formation, representing the second recorded Jurassic mammal site in Russia.
