Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | planar lamination,black,green lithified "shale" | ||
| Lithology description: The Third Member of the Laiyang Formation consists of 250-705 m of calcareous sandstone, siltstone and fine-granted sandstone intercalated with thin, paper-like, insect-rich shales. | |||
| Environment: | lacustrine - large | Tectonic setting: | rift |
| Geology comments: Large (several hundred km2) lake in the Laiyang basin. In addition to the abundant entomofauna, plant fossil fragments, fish and a single bird feather also have been found. Water plants were apparently rare, and at the centre of the lake I have found no plant or animal fossils. | |||
