Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Lufeng | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: "Lower Lufeng Series"
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 Hettangian–Sinemurian age for the Zhangjiawa Member and a Hettangian age for the Shawan Member. It is not clear which member this collection comes from. | |||||
