Where: Guizhou, China (25.1° N, 104.9° E: paleocoordinates 15.9° N, 92.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Zhuganpo Member (Falang Formation), Longobardian (242.0 - 235.0 Ma)

• "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.
