Type Locality and Naming

The named section is located about 3 km east of Nanshuangyashan in Baoqing County, Heilongjiang Province. In 1962, the Seventh Geological Team of Heilongjiang Geological Bureau named the Upper Triassic, which is mainly composed of tuff and clastic rocks, as the Nanshuangyashan Formation by taking Nanshuangyashan section in Baoqing County as the named section.

Synonym: In 1959, Wang Xiuzhang named the Marine Upper Triassic in the Nadan Hadaling area of eastern Heilongjiang Province as "Qingjiang Rock Group", but he did not specify a named section.
