Southern Slope of Lolou Village (Triassic to of China)

Where: China (24.0° N, 106.0° E: paleocoordinates 6.7° N, 96.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Dienerian to Dienerian (250.5 - 247.2 Ma)

• Mixed fauna, probably from multiple beds

Environment/lithology: shale and limestone

• section composed almost entirely of shales and sandstones (150-200m) with a few limestone lenses in the lower part. The following ammonites [sic] were procured from the limestone slabs on the slope, their exact horizon is therefore unknown, but they seem to represent two horizons.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: surface (float),
