Also known as Locality N-11

Where: Yunnan, China (23.8° N, 103.2° E: paleocoordinates 23.3° N, 102.3° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Xiaolongtan Formation, Late/Upper Miocene (11.6 - 5.3 Ma)

• "Magnetostratigraphic analysis indicated the age of the Xiaolongtan Formation to be 12.7–10 Ma, late Miocene (Li S. H. et al., 2015). This age is consistent with palynology (Wang, 1996) and paleontology results (Dong and Qi, 2013)." (Zhou et al. 2020)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lignite

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
