Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Museum repositories: | IVPP | Collection dates: | 1951 |
| Collection method comments: Unearthed during the clearing away the building foundation in Tatienwan, a suburb of Chungking (=Chongqing). Only Hsisosuchus chungkingensis and cf. Sanpasaurus yaoi are certainly from this locality. Other taxa may be from nearby but their precise locality data is lost. | |
