Gao Keqin & Ren Dong: Radiometric Dating of Ignimbrite from Inner Mongolia 
Provides no Indication of a Post-Middle Jurassic Age for the Daohugou Beds, 
Acta Geologica Sinica English Edition 2006/1, no page numbers shown

"Lacustrine deposits exposed at Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China, have 
yielded superbly preserved vertebrate fossils. The fossil beds were first 
misinterpreted as of Early Cretaceous age, based on alleged occurrences of 
key fossils of the Jehol Biota. Compelling evidence revealed by more 
rigorous research involving regional biostratigraphy, radiometric dating, 
and paleontology supports the Middle Jurassic age of the fossil beds. 
Despite the awesome evidence for the Middle Jurassic age of the Daohugou 
beds, th..."

Xu Xing, Zhang Xiaohong, Tan Qingwei, Zhao Xijin & Tan Lin: A New 
Titanosaurian Sauropod from Late Cretaceous of Nei Mongol, China, same 
edition, same lack of pagination

"A specimen collected from the Upper Cretaceous Erlian Formation of Nei 
Mongol (Inner Mongolia), China, represents a new genus and species of 
titanosaurian sauropod. The new taxon is named and described on the basis of 
the holotype and the only known specimen, which comprises several dorsal, 
sacral, and caudal vertebrae, several dorsal ribs, one anterior chevron, and 
much of the pelvis. Diagnostic features of the new species include a thick 
ridge extending down from the postzygapophysis on the lateral surfac..."
