Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Falang | Member: | Zhuganpo | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: "Upper part of the Zhuganpo Member of the Falang Formation, about 3.0 m below the Anolcites limestone. On the basis of the conodont Paragondolella polygnathiformis, it would appear to be earliest Carnian, but the presence of the ammonite Anolcites suggests a somewhat older, latest Ladinian age". Later (Zou et al., 2015) assigned a mid-Late Ladinian age, below ammonoid-bearing beds correlated with the Sutherlandi zone. | |||||
