When: Upper Member (Xikuangshan Formation), Famennian (372.1 - 358.9 Ma)

• The upper part of the section is 106 m thick and includes sandstone, muddy siltstone and sandy shale, with three layers of oolitic hematite purplish red in color close to the top of outcrops.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; poorly lithified, gray, red, yellow siltstone
