| Xituyao, Senjitu, Fengning County (CNU collection) | Li Y. J., Nel A., et al (2012) | Yixian | U-Pb dating from the Sihetun area indicates that the Yixian Formation ranges from 124.9 ± 1.7 Ma to 122.8 ± 1.6 Ma (Yang et al., 2007). Chang et al. (2017) obtained Ar/Ar ages of 125.8 ± 1.0 Ma and 126.0 ± 0.8 Ma from the Lujiatun Unit, the lowest part of the Yixian Formation, below the lacustrine shales. They infer an age of 125.22 ± 0.22 Ma for the lower part of the Jianshangou Unit, based on their date and previously published information. It is not clear if the formation is the same age else | mudstone | 125.45 - 122.46 Ma Early/Lower Cretaceous |
