Where: Guangxi, China (24.5° N, 111.5° E: paleocoordinates 28.6° N, 118.9° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Shiti Formation, Toarcian (182.7 - 174.1 Ma)
• All fossil insects come from lower unit. The upper unit has been definitely regarded as Middle Jurassic in age because it contains typical Middle Jurassic gastropods and bivalves. The lower unit, yielding only fossil insects, is attributed to the upper Lower Jurassic.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithified, green, yellow mudstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: adpression
Reposited in the NIGPAS
