NORTHERN ASIA 517<br />

Sikhota-Alin and Vladivostock Area<br />

Along the east coast, from the south side of the Sea of Okhotsk to<br />

Vladivostock, the Jurassic is developed mainly in the Angara facies,<br />

with both plant-beds and volcanics, but in places there are vestiges of<br />

marine incursions of imprecisely determined dates, so far not known to<br />

yield identifiable ammonites. For the most part they are believed to be<br />

Bajocian, with perhaps Bathonian, but near Vladivostock there is probably<br />

also some marine Lias and Lower Bajocian belonging to the Japanese<br />

province. The records of Wittenburg (1909) were shown by M. K.<br />

Eliaschewitsch (now Professor Maxim K. Elias of Nebraska University)<br />

to be in part based on misidentifications of Palaeozoic fossils. The total<br />

thickness of beds assigned by Elias to the Jurassic amounts to 3750 m.<br />
