|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jifuke Formation, Upper Nileike River, NW Xinjiang Province | Mu E.-z., Boucot A. J., et al (1986) | Jifuke | Except where otherwise stated, ref. 7624 uses Lower Silurian as equivalent to Llandovery, Middle Silurian as equivalent to Wenlock, and Upper Silurian as equivalent to Ludlow plus Pridoli. "The Regional Geological Party correlated these fossils with the Wenlock. The relationship with the overlying strata is unclear. The age, however, may be anywhere in the interval Upper Llandovery through Ludlow." | "limestone" | 443.4 - 423 Ma Silurian |
| Nilekehe Formation, Upper Nileke River, NW Xinjiang Province | Mu E.-z., Boucot A. J., et al (1986) | Nilekehe | Except where otherwise stated, ref. 7624 uses Lower Silurian as equivalent to Llandovery, Middle Silurian as equivalent to Wenlock, and Upper Silurian as equivalent to Ludlow plus Pridoli. | siltstone | 443.4 - 433.4 Ma Silurian |
