Abstract
A narrow-crowned sauropod tooth from the Udurchukan Formation (Maastrichtian) in the Blagoveshchensk locality (Amur Region, Russia) is morphologically identical to the teeth of Nemegtosaurus from the Nemegt Formation (Maatsrichtian) in Mongolia and can be referred to the titanosaurs of the family Opisthocoelicaudiidae. This tooth is the only sauropod finding from the Late Cretaceous of Russia.
