Near Dawa village, Lufeng | Wu X.-C. (1994) | Lufeng - Zhangjiawa | Near the middle of the Dark Red Beds, stratum 6 of Luo & Wu (1994) 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. | mudstone | 199.3 - 190.8 Ma Early Jurassic |
