Dashuigou Formation Explained

The Dashuigou Formation is a geological formation in Inner Mongolia, north China, whose strata date back to the Early Cretaceous period.

The hadrosauroid Probactrosaurus has been reported from this formation,^[1] although it actually derives from the Miaogou Formation, which has outcrops nearby.^[2]
