Cited by genera

  • Archaeoceratops
  • Beishanlong

    Assigns the gray-variegated beds of the Yujingzi Basin to the uppermost Xiagou Formation.

  • Equijubus
  • Jintasaurus

    Assigns the gray-variegated beds of the Yujingzi Basin to the uppermost Xiagou Formation.

  • Qiaowanlong

    Assigns the gray-variegated beds of the Yujingzi Basin to the uppermost Xiagou Formation.

  • Suzhousaurus

    Characterizes the Zhonggou fauna as including this genus, which reflects the referred red-beds specimen rather than the holotype.

  • Xiongguanlong

    Assigns the gray-variegated beds to the uppermost Xiagou Formation by carbon-isotope chemostratigraphy, confirming the correlation earlier work had offered as a working hypothesis.

  • Xuwulong

    Places the gray-variegated beds in the uppermost Xiagou Formation and the overlying red beds in the lower Zhonggou, dating the former to the upper Aptian.
