Abstract: Remains of armored dinosaurs (Thyreophora) from the Late Cretaceous, Early Maastrichtian (Udurchukan Formation) deposits of the Kundur locality in the Amur Region, are described. The material includes a single osteodermal scute of extraordinary structure and two cheek teeth. These fossils are tentatively assigned to the family Nodosauridae (Ankylosauria) previously unknown in Asia.
