Mesozoic insect fossils are abundant in Xinjiang, northwestern China, mainly from the Triassic and Jurassic strata. The first Xinjiang insect fossils found were from the Meiyaogou section, north of Turpan City (Ping, 1935). Ping (1935) did not provide a detailed introduction to the specific stratum due to a limited stratigraphic survey of this area at that time, but it was considered to belong to the Upper Jurassic. The Upper Jurassic strata in the Meiyaogou section were represented mainly by the Sanjianfang Formation, which is characterized by gray-yellow-green sandstone-siltstones with purple-red sandstone strips. However, whether these fossils reported by Ping (1935) were from the Sanjianfang Formation is still uncertain. These insect fossils are known from just two orders: Dermaptera and Plecoptera. The mayfly species Ephemeropsis tingi (Demoulin, 1954; Edmunds, 1972; Kluge, 2004) was thought to be significantly different from Ephemeropsis trisetalis from the Jehol biota. Another species, Sinoephemera kingi, is more similar to a stonefly nymph. Mesonetopsis zeni, a taxon thought to be relate to the common component of the Late Jurassic in Central Asia (Mesoneta), is in fact an odonatan nymph (Demoulin, 1954).

With 18 genera and 29 species described, the extinct family Dysmorphoptilidae Handlirsch, 1906 is one of the most diverse members of the early cicadomorphan insects, widespread from the Middle Permian to the Upper Jurassic of Europe, Siberia, Central Asia, South China, South Africa, South America, and Australia (Shcherbakov, 1984, 2000; Martins-Neto et al., 2003; Lambkin, 2015, 2016; Lara & Wang, 2016; Szwedo & Huang, 2019).

A new genus and three new species of the family Grammolingiidae are described: Protolingia mira gen. et sp. nov. andLitholingia longa sp. nov. from the Sai-Sagul locality (Kyrgyzstan, upper Lower Jurassic–lower Middle Jurassic) and Lep-tolingia oblonga sp. nov. from the Houtiyn-Hotgor locality (Mongolia, Upper Jurassic). Grammolingiidae are recordedfrom the Karatau locality (Kazakhstan, Upper Jurassic). This fossil lacewing family occurred in the South of Central Asiaand in East Asia during the Middle and Upper Jurassic; its distribution was limited by Mongol-Okhotsk and Turgai seas.Grammolingiidae from Sai-Sagul is the oldest record of this family. They demonstrate unusual characteristics for the family, such as the pectinate CuP and the distal fusion of Sc and R1.

Fossils of marine reptiles are a new jewelry and ornamental material and collected in the Ulyanovsk region from the Upper Jurassic deposits. They consist of (wt. %): calcite — 52, apatite — 24 and pyrite — 23, and also gypsum presents. The contents of radioactive and carcinogenic elements are close to background. The original bone structure of reptiles is preserved. Apatite replaces the bone tissue of marine reptiles, forming a cellular framework. According to the chemical composition, apatite refers to fluorohydroxyapatite with an increased Sr content. The size of the crystals is finely-dispersed. Calcite and pyrite fill the central parts of the cells. Calcite crystals of isometric and elongated shape, 0,01—0,05 mm in size, form blocks up to 0,3 mm during intergrowth. Calcite fills thin, discontinuous veins along the contour of cells with a width of up to 0,03 mm. In calcite, among the impurity elements, there are (wt. %, on the average): Mg — 0,30, Mn — 0,39 and Fe — 0,96. Pyrite forms a dispersed impregnation in calcite and apatite, content of impurities is, wt. %: Ni — up to 0,96 and Cu — up to 0,24. On technological and decorative characteristics of fossils of sea reptiles of Ulyanovsk region are qualitative jewelry and ornamental materials of biomineral group, allowing to make a wide assortment of jewelry and souvenir products.
