KHG 201, Xiwan coal mine, Hezhou City (Jurassic of China)

Where: Guangxi, China (24.5° N, 111.5° E: paleocoordinates 28.6° N, 118.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Shiti Formation, Toarcian (182.7 - 174.1 Ma)

• All fossil insects come from lower unit. The upper unit has been definitely regarded as Middle Jurassic in age because it contains typical Middle Jurassic gastropods and bivalves. The lower unit, yielding only fossil insects, is attributed to the upper Lower Jurassic.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithified, green, yellow mudstone

• Passive rifting in response to post-Indosinian orogenic collapse and lithosphere extension.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression

Reposited in the NIGPAS
