Stratigraphy
Formation: | Lufeng | Member: | Zhangjia'ao | ||
Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: 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. |
