In 2013, the first International paleontological expedition composed of five parties: Belgian, French, Chita, Irkutsk and Blagoveshchensk ones was carried out in Kulinda locality of Jurassic dinosaurs in Olov Basin in Transbaikalia. The main objectives of teams’ work were cleaning and opening-up of new layers with dinosaurs’ remains; stratigraphy study of bearing strata; layerwise collection of all organic remains; field preliminary preparation and determination. More than 700 dinosaurs’ remains, 350 bone fragments, 50 samples with skin, about 40 samples with plumage, over 90 samples with scaly-coated tails, 30 samples for palynological analysis, and 100 plant samples were selected.
