The Khatyspyt Formation is a

formation exposed in the Olenëk Uplift of north central Siberia,[1]
which contains the only known instance of the
red beds; the Turkut Formation overlies the Khatyspyt. The Khatyspyt and part of the overlying Turkut comprise a major shallowing upward marine carbonate sequence. [3] Khatyspytia is named after this formation.[4]
