Discussions on the age of Daohugou fauna — evidence from invertebrates. Progress in Natural Science (Special Issue) 16, 308–312.https://hdl.handle.net/1808/26573Volcanic 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.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License 4.0 (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), which permits use and distribution in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited, the use is non-commercial and no modifications or adaptations are made.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Daohuguo faunaMiddle JurassicInner MongoliaInsectsConchostracansSpidersArticleopenAccess
