Also known as Zitong, Bishan
Where: Chongqing, China (31.4° N, 108.2° E: paleocoordinates 34.6° N, 113.5° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Dongyuemiao Member (Ziliujing Formation), Toarcian (182.7 - 174.1 Ma)
• The Ziliujing is divided into (in ascending order) Zhenzhuchong, Dongyuemiao, Ma’anshan, and Da’anzhai members. A Toarcian age for the Dongyuemiao Member and an early Middle Jurassic age for the overlying parts of the formation is supported on the basis of macroplants (e.g. Meng et al. 2003. Acta Palaeontologica Sinica 42: 525-536)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lacustrine - large; sandy mudstone
Size class: macrofossils
