Where: Nei Mongol, China (41.3° N, 119.2° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 49.3° N, 129.8° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Daohugou Formation, Callovian to Callovian (165.3 - 154.8 Ma)
• The age of the Daohugou fauna has been controversial. Liu et al. (2012) obtained U-Pb shrimp ages of 160.5 and 161.0 Myr on ash beds associated with fossils of the Daohugou fauna, suggesting a Callovian-Oxfordian age.
