KHG 190, Shiniuwei village, Taochuan, Jiangyong County (Jurassic of China)

Where: Hunan, China (25.1° N, 111.1° E: paleocoordinates 29.2° N, 118.3° 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 siliciclastic sediments

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

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: mold/impression

Reposited in the NIGPAS
