• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Shawan Member (Lufeng Formation), Hettangian (201.3 - 199.3 Ma)

• lower part of dark purple mudstone

•

•The Lufeng Formation has been divided into lower dark/dull purple beds (= Shawan Member) and upper dark/deep red beds (= Zhangjiawa Member). Luo & Wu (1994: In the Shadow of the Dinosaurs, pp. 251–270) argue on the basis of vertebrate biostratigraphy for a Hettangian–Sinemurian age for the Zhangjiawa Member and a Hettangian age for the Shawan Member.
