Re: [dinosaur] Hamipterus age and formation queries

The best information I can come up with is:

Exact location of Hamipterus and egg/nest finds are 42.8 N 93.6 E

Shalidatun Formation of the Turpan-Hami Basin of the Tugulu Group (?Berriasian-Albian)

Note: Shalidatun Formation is equivalent to Qingshuihe Formation of the Junggar Basin of Tugulu Group

Aside from Hamipterus being from the Early Cretaceous Tugulu Group, is further information on its specific formation and stage available?
