Geography
Country: China
State: Qinghai
County: Huzhu
Coordinate: 36.71° N, 102.00° E
Coordinate basis: estimated from map
Time interval: Late Miocene
Geography comments: "in Banyan village, 1 km from Jiangjiagou village" in Huzhu County
estimated coordinate is based on Banyan
"Late Miocene" (no further details are given)
probably Tortonian and not Messinian based on the presence of both Chilotherium and Hipparion dongxiangense, a primitive and early hipparionine according to Sun and Deng (2019, Front. Ecol. Evol.)

Environment
Lithology: mudstone
Habitat comments: "The fossils are located in brownish yellow and yellow mudstone. The stratigraphic bedding is clear, and the upper strata of the fossil layers develop gravel layers"
Methods
Life forms: ungulates
Sample size: 6 specimens
Sampling comments: the collection was made somewhere between 2015, when previous fieldwork was carried out near Jianjiagou, and 2017, the date of publication
the fossils were collected by "local villager LV Youjin"
the specimens were "prepared and identified" at the IVPP and presumably were housed there
