•"The Jiyuan fauna, with Honania and Tsiyuania, comes from the Upper Shihezhi (formerly Shihhotse) Formation, of Henan Province in northern China (Fig. 2), which dates from upper Roadian to mid Wuchiapingian, based on palynology (F. Liu et al., 2015) and magnetostratigraphy (Embleton et al., 1996; Stevens et al., 2011). The Jiyuan Fauna is from near the top of the unit, and is dated as late Wuchiapingian (J. Liu et al., 2014) or early Wuchiapingian (F. Liu et al., 2015)." (Benton 2016)
