Ziliujung

[edit]

I guess the Ziliujung Formation is 自流井地层 in Chinese, but there are no Google hits for "自流井地层" and "大山铺" on the same page. Wikipeditor 03:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

组 is better. (""大山铺" "自流井组") --Reiner Stoppok (talk) 21:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Dashanpo Formation" in Chinese

[edit]

地层 seems to mean “layer” – is the Chinese name of the Dashanpo paleontological site 大山铺采石场? There's only a single Google hit for that term. There must be a more widely used term, but what is it? Wikipeditor 03:33, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good thing this is an English encyclopedia huh? I'm just following info I've gathered from various sources. Spawn Man 02:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ergh?

[edit]

Doesn't having Dashanpu redirect here & then having a link to Dashanpu on this page bend the space-time contiuum in some way? Argh! A black hole! Spawn Man 00:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a word "Dashanpu Formation" in Chinese?

[edit]

I don't think so. The word would be 大山铺组, but it is not (really) in use. --Reiner Stoppok (talk) 21:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC) PS: Cf. 大山铺恐龙动物群, 大山铺恐龙化石群遗址 or 大山铺恐龙化石遗址. The article should be called "Dashanpu Dinosaur fossils" or something like that.[reply]

Sanpasaurus

[edit]

I've read that Upchurch (1995) considers Sanpasaurus a basal sauropod (see also thesis by Philip Mannion). Would it make sense to admit that Sanpasaurus is a valid basal sauropod and not a chimera rather than wait for better material from the Sanpasaurus type horizon?

Formations can't contain formations

[edit]

Is it officially "Dashanpu Group" now? Someone please check. Also, the literature calls the Shaximiao Fms Upper Jurassic, not Middle. David Marjanović (talk) 21:44, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: the literature calles the Lower Shaximiao Fm Middle Jurassic ( ~ Callovian) and the Upper one Upper Jurassic ( ~ Oxfordian). I still haven't come across "Dashanpu Fm" in the literature. David Marjanović (talk) 19:32, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're right, the term Danshanpu seems to be used as a locative nerm, never as a stratigraphic term. In that case, what should the article be renamed to? I think probably reformatting the article to refer soley to the Shaximiao Formation is best Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:53, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
