Geography
Country:China State/province:Shandong
Coordinates: 36.6° North, 118.7° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:36.5° North, 116.3° East
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:local area
Time
Period:Neogene Epoch:Miocene
Stage:Burdigalian 10 m.y. bin:Cenozoic 5
Key time interval:Burdigalian
Age range of interval:20.44000 - 15.98000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Shanwang
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Paleomagnetic and radiometric evidence correlates the Shanwang Formation to subchron 5En of Chron 5. The main part of the Shanwang Formation covers 18.524 Ma to 18.056 Ma, with the Shanwang Formation as a whole covering 18.5 ma to 17.5 Ma. Recent paleontological results show that the Shanwang Formation can be correlated with the European mammalian zone MN instead of the previous MN5.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:diatomaceous,tuffaceous lithified mudstone
Environment:lacustrine - large Tectonic setting:rift
Geology comments: Two minor volcanic faulted basins, the Linqu and Shanwang Basins, are present in the study area. The former lies near the county town of Linqu, and the latter in the Shanwang National Geopark, east of this town. The faulted basins are the result of intense Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic extension and rifting; the development of these basins was closely related in time with the nearby NE-SW and NW-SE trending faults in the Yishu Fault Zone.
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:adpression
Size of fossils:macrofossils,mesofossils
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Collection method comments: Repository: Shanwang Fossil Protection Post. This collection contains specimens labeled with six-digit numbers prefaced by SK.
