Also known as Heikoupeng, Heigoupeng
Where: Yunnan, China (25.2° N, 102.1° E: paleocoordinates 33.8° N, 105.8° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Zhangjia'ao Member (Lufeng Formation), Sinemurian (199.3 - 190.8 Ma)
• Sites reported by Simmons supposedly from a single stratum within the "Dark Red Beds", just below the Ta Ti layer.
•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 probable Sinemurian age for the Zhangjiawa Member and a Hettangian age for the Shawan Member.
