Coordinates: 26.7° North, 104.4° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:6.1° North, 94.1° East
Basis of coordinate:stated in text
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period:Triassic Epoch:Early/Lower Triassic
10 m.y. bin:Triassic 1
Key time interval:Griesbachian Ammonoid zone: Ophiceras
Age range of interval:251.90200 - 251.40000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Kayitou
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: "The presence of Annalepis in the WGEY sections represents the first occurrence of a typical Triassic element in the base or lower part of the Kayitou Formation, associated with the earliest Triassic ammonoid Ophiceras and marine bivalves, and is therefore regarded as earliest Triassic in age" (Chu et al. 2017)
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: siltstone
Environment:lagoonal
Geology comments: "the 65-m-thick Kayitou Formation corresponds to a shallow coastal lagoon evolving towards coastal transitional deposition, and which has yielded a mixed continental-marine biota" (Chu et al. 2017)
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body,mold/impression
