Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map | ||
Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
Period: | Jurassic | Epoch: | Early/Lower Jurassic |

Age range of interval: | 199.30000 - 190.80000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
Formation: | Lufeng | Member: | Zhangjia'ao | ||
Stratigraphic resolution: | member | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: 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 probable Sinemurian age for the Zhangjiawa Member and a Hettangian age for the Shawan Member. |
