"The fossil geropys leaves at the source site are found in its upper half of a 10 cm stud [illegible] mudstone) siltstone unit and appears to represent the distal portion of a Curacer splash deposit that was deposited in a very poorly developed flood plain mudstone. After the gins leaf was seen with Wodenskiella, Platanus y. sapidus, Arce silberlingii and Fraxiaphyllum Naturaefolia, and. Deposition in the fluvial sediments of a splash indicate its flora has been subjected to some transport, in two case from the adjacent slopes of a levee. Following deposition of the gins- splash unit the area became a stable pond before being invaded by a channel with a subsequent study sets in turn gave way to distal flood plain sediments."
