Yurgovuchia is known only from a single individual represented by an associated partial postcranial skeleton. The holotype and the only known specimen, UMNH VP 20211, includes some cervical, dorsal, and caudal vertebrae as well as the proximal end of a left pubis. It was collected by Donald D. DeBlieux in 2005, from Don’s Place, part of the Doelling’s Bowl bone bed in Grand County, Utah. This bone bed is in the lower Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, dating probably to the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous period, about 130-125 million years ago. Other dinosaurs are also known from Don’s Place including the iguanodontian Iguanacolossus, a polacanthine and a velociraptorine dromaeosaurid represented by the pubis (UMNH VP 21752) and possibly also by a radius (UMNH VP 2
