| Stratigraphy comments: Primary reference gives age as Late/Upper Paleocene. Brinkman et al (2008) states Middle Paleocene, belonging to lower part of Wanghudun Formation. Whether in Doumu or Wanghudun formations, Missiaen (2011) gives the age of both as Middle Paleocene; Tong et al. (2016) place it in the middle of the Lower Member of the Wanghudun Formation, which is now regarded as Early Paleocene, following Wang et al. (2016) | |||||
