The Ukureyskaya Formation, also referred to as the Ukurey Formation is a geological formation in Zabaykalsky Krai, part of the Russian Far East. It is made up of Middle Jurassic and Late Jurassic layers.[1] It covers large areas around Kulinda. The formation is where the type specimen fossils of Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus were found, alongside a single tooth from a medium-sized theropod of unknown affiliations and other indeterminate ornithschians.[2] Recent dating work suggest that the layers containing Kulindadromeus are Bathonian in age.[3]
