Qiaergaye Formation (Lower) at Bulkesitai, SE of Toli County, NW Xinjiang Prov. | Mu E.-z., Boucot A. J., et al (1986) | Qiaergaye | Except where otherwise stated, ref. 7624 uses Lower Silurian as equivalent to Llandovery, Middle Silurian as equivalent to Wenlock, and Upper Silurian as equivalent to Ludlow plus Pridoli. "...paleontologic evidence indicates an Upper Llandovery age for the graptolites, and possibly and Upper Llandovery or Wenlock age for the shelly fossils." Stratigraphic relations discussed by authors imply that the graptolites in type section are from below the middle part of the formation (i.e. below the par | siltstone | 443.4 - 433.4 Ma Silurian |
