Most finds from the Lower Cretaceous belong to titanosaurs (Lithostrotia). The Lower Cretaceous deposits of Western Siberia are the most promising in terms of the search for articulated remains of sauropods.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p id="idm45181325776656">На территории России остатки завропод найдены в отложениях средней юры Западной Сибири (Mamenchisauridae), нижнего мела Поволжья (<italic>Volgatitan simbirskiensis</italic>), Забайкалья (<italic>Tengrisaurus starkovi</italic>) и Западной Сибири (<italic>Sibirotitan astrosacralis</italic>) и верхнего мела Дальнего Востока (Opisthocoelicaudidae).
