| Quarry sequence is divided into 8 beds (numbered from top), in the Xi River Basin north of Lufeng, China. These unconformably overly Mesozoic sediments. No Formation names are given. Han 1985: "Its geological age is Late Miocene, equivalent to the Turolian of European sequence of land mammal ages." Qi 1986: Age "8 Ma or perhaps a bit later" | Quarry section at Lufeng is 8 m thick. Detailed microstratigraphy given in Qi 1985 and Badgley et al 1988. | |||
