Talk:Shishugou Formation

Are there other members of this formation?
It mentions the lowest unit. Are there other named units? If there are relevant differences, perhaps the constituent members should be standalone articles? Trilotat (talk) 00:07, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The most recent online stratigraphy divides the formation into lower, middle and upper beds, so I don't think the article should be divded. As a rule of thumb, geological formations should be the main encyclopedic unit, with member beds being discussed as a sub section within the formation article. There might be a case for creating separate articles for the "lower" and "upper" Shaximiao Formations but the stratigraphy for that is currently unresolved.

 * On this note, why does Shishugou Formation dinosaur traps need to be a stand-alone article? I've added a merge tag. FunkMonk (talk) 10:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
