VERIFY:period_start_mya: stored=70.6 suggested=72.1 confidence=medium — The stored 70.6 Ma reflects the superseded pre-2008 base of the Maastrichtian; current chronostratigraphy places the stage at <cite index="27-1">72.1 million to 66 million years ago</cite>. The Udurchukan Formation that yields Olorotitan is dated to the Maastrichtian as a whole, i.e. roughly 72–66 Ma.
