Result from the Shanwang formation #paleostream!
Here I show the place during autumn, a scenario we weren't able to show yet. It's an interesting time of year to cover, not only because of the novel colors in the flora but also the behaviors that many ungulates show.
With over 600 species of plants and animals it is one of the richest deposits we covered so far, unfortunately it's not as accessible and/or well documented as other formations, making the research a constant back in fourth, even during the stream we had extensive discussions on the taxonomy and validity of some of these animals. As you can see in this size chart by JW the size distribution of the fauna can be quite something, with rhinos and gomphothers being roughly cow sized, with a chalicother towering over them.
