Fundort: Gonglantou Oil Shale Mine, China, Jilin, China

Fossilien und Beschreibung der Fundstelle:
Macrofossils, "correlative with the latter part of the Uintan" or even younger based on mammalian stage of evolution (Beard and Wang 1991) or Middle Eocene based on "close resemblance between the fish fauna" and that of the Green River Formation, which is mostly Wasatchian and Bridgerian but ranges into the Duchesnean (Hou and Ericson 2002); Lutetian seems like the best compromise because it spans most or all of the Bridgerian and Uintan, "oil shale and coal deposits" (Hou and Ericson 2002)
