Stratigraphy, correlation, depositional environments, and cyclicity of the Early Cretaceous Yixian and ?Jurassic-Cretaceous Tuchengzi formations in the Sihetun area (NE China) based on three continuous cores
The three members of the Yixian Formation represent historical phases, not facies equivalents.
•
Basal Lujiatun Member houses tetrapod fossils preserved in 3 dimensions in fluvial and volcaniclastic rock.
•
Xiatulaigou Member lavas and breccias are the only true flow units in the area.
•
Jianshangou Member laminites, air-falls, and tuffaceous rocks house the Jehol Biota.
•
The extraordinary preservation of the Jehol Biota is a result of deep lake anoxia.
