Abstract

Results of comprehensive study of the Kholokhovchan floral assemblage collection is summarized. These plant fossils were collected in 1978 by E. L. Lebedev from volcanogenic deposits in Penzhina and Oklan rivers interfluve, North-Eastern Russia. This assemblage was previously known as a list of Lebedev’s preliminary identifi cations only. He had suggested that the Kholokhovchan assemblage is correlative to the latest Albian — early Turonian Grebenka flora from the Anadyr River middle reaches. However, our study demonstrates that the Kholokhovchan assemblage is most similar to the presumably the Turonian-Coniacian Arman flora of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanogenic belt and, therefore, should be dated as the Turonian-Coniacian or Turonian.
