A total of 1 285 samples yielded well-defined ChRMs and were used to establish the magnetostratigraphic column of a 3 ative="False" HasSpace="True" SourceValue="270" UnitName="m">270 m-thick section from the exposed base of the Anjihaihe Formation to the middle of the Xiyu Formation. Two vertebrate fossil horizons in the section and good correlation of the magnetostratigraphic column with the GPTS suggest that the section was deposited from ansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~ang=EN-US>ace="Times New Roman">28.0 to ansi-font-family: ’Times New Roman’; mso-ascii-font-family: ’Times New Roman’">~ang=EN-US>ace="Times New Roman">4.0 Ma.ang=EN-US>amespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
