| Summary: | FIG. 3. Composite carbon isotope and magnetic stratigraphy of the Hengyang Basin Paleocene/Eocene boundary interval. A. (above) Composite stratigraphic data from local sections 1 (diamonds), 2 (circles) and 3 (squares) projected on the section 1 stratigraphic scale. The positions of Hengyang Basin (HB) faunal horizons are indicated by LC-L: lower Lingcha fauna from Limuping Formation, LC-U: upper Lingcha fauna from Lingcha Formation. Paleomagnetic data, presented as the latitude of the Virtual Geomagnetic Pole (VGP) corresponding to the average site direction for each sampling locality. Solid symbols represent data from alpha sites, and open circles represent beta sites. Magnetochron assignments are made with reference to marine Paleocene/Eocene boundary section (Kennett and Stott, 1991). B. (opposite page) The Paleocene/Eocene boundary is placed at the base of the carbon isotope excursion, and assigned an age of 54.97 Ma after Wing et al. (1999). Modified from Ting et al. (2003). Published as part of Ting, Suyin, Wang, Xiaoming & Meng, Jin, 2023, Cranial And Postcranial Morphology Of The Insectivoran-Grade Mammals Hsiangolestes And Naranius (Mammalia, Eutheria) With Analyses Of Their Phylogenetic Relationships, pp. 1-129 in Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2023 (463) on page 10, DOI:10.1206/0003-0090.463.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/8110448
