Environment
Lithology: not described
Habitat comments: "the locality is in highly vegetated cover"
Methods
Life forms: carnivores,ungulates
Sample size: 20 specimens
Museum: IVPP
Sampling comments: there is no discussion of collecting times and methods
specimens are both in the IVPP and "housed at Hezheng Paleozoological Museum"
the IVPP collections are presumably thorough, but the Hezheng material appears to be high-graded because the specimens are mostly skulls
