| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Jurassic | Epoch: | Early/Lower Jurassic |
| Stage: | Hettangian | 10 m.y. bin: | Jurassic 1 |
| Key time interval: | Hettangian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 201.40000 - 199.50000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Fengjiahe | Member: | Lower | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Lower part of formation; equivalent to Lower Lufeng, Shawan Member
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. | |||||
