Where: Fujian, China (24.2° N, 117.9° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 23.9° N, 117.4° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Middle Formation (Fotan Group), Langhian (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)
• "The Fotan Group is considered to be Miocene in age based on palynological assemblage (Zheng and Wang 1994). Recent 40Ar/39Ar dating of the basalts overlaying the sedimentary layer containing the studied plant fossils suggests an age of 14.7 ± 0.4 Ma (Langhian stage, middle Miocene) (Zheng et al. 2019)." (Wang et al. 2022)
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
