Stratigraphy comments: Originally reported as Late Triassic; however, as discussed by Lucas & Hunt (1993), this was based upon misidentification of dicynodont material as aetosaur. Lucas & Hunt (1993) clarify that this material is from the upper part of the Kelamayi (= Karamay) Formation, immediately above a definite Middle Triassic fauna. The age is therefore uncertain, but listed here as Middle-Late Triassic |
