Additional Information

This following entry was in the Carboniferous Lexicon suite, for some reason. Difficult to reconcile with age span of Angjie Fm as indicated by Shuzhong Shen et al (2019; Permian integrated stratigraphy and time scale), who did not have this unit on their Lhasa regional summary.
