Where: Jilin, China (42.9° N, 129.5° E: paleocoordinates 50.3° N, 122.2° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Longjing Formation, Late/Upper Albian to Late/Upper Albian (105.3 - 93.9 Ma)

• The beds at the Longshan locality are part of the lower portion of the Longjing Formation, which conformably overlies the Dalazi Formation (Jin et al., 2018; Zhong et al., 2021). Paleontological and radiochronological data indicate an Albian to Cenomanian age for the Longjing Formation (Jin et al., 2018). The fossil-bearing site lies a short distance above a tuff layer from near base of the Longjing Formation that has recently been dated to 101.039 ± 0.061 Ma (Zhang et al., 2018; Zhong et al., 2021); this finding is consistent with other U-Pb radiochronological dating of the uppermost part of the Dalazi Formation to 105.14 ± 0.37 (Zhong et al., 2021). Thus, the Longshan section likely includes the Albian/Cenomanian boundary, and most of the Longjing Formation can be considered Cenomanian in age (Zhong et al., 2021).
