Abstract
Volcanic tuff deposits near Daohugou village, Ningcheng County of Inner Monogolia have yielded many well-preserved fossils. Here we briefly introduce our recent findings of invertebrates from the Daohugou fauna: Mainly insects, conchostracans, anostra-cans, and spiders. The age of the Daohugou fauna is considered to be Middle Jurassic on the basis of an analysis of various invertebrates especially insects and conchostracans, showing strong similarities to the Yanliao fauna of north China and the Karatau fauna of Kazakhstan.
