“…The geological age of the Ningming Formation, according to palynologists ( Wang et al, 2003 ), is Oligocene. Paleobotanists concurred after they had studied macrofossil plant from the same strata ( Li et al, 2003 ; Shi, Zhou & Xie, 2010 ; Shi, Zhou & Xie, 2012 ; Shi, Xie & Li, 2014 ; Wang et al, 2014 ; Dong et al, 2017 ; Ma et al, 2017 ; etc.). We applied this geological age also when we studied Huashancyprinus robustispinus (Cyprinidae, Cypriniformes) from the same locality and horizon ( Chen & Chang, 2011 ) and adopt it herein.…”

A new ellimmichthyiform, Guiclupea superstes, gen. et sp. nov., from the Oligocene Ningming Formation of Ningming Basin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, South China is described herein. With relatively large body size, parietals meeting at the midline, anterior ceratohyal with a beryciform foramen in the center, a complete predorsal scutes series of very high number and about equally-size scutes with radiating ridges on dorsal surface, first preural centrum unfused with first uroneural but fused with the parhypural, and first ural centrum of roughly the same size as the preural centrum, Guiclupea superstes cannot be assigned to the order Clupeiformes. The phylogenetic analyses using parsimony and Bayesian inference methods with Chanos/Elops as outgroup respectively suggests that the new form is closer to ellimmichthyiform genus Diplomystus than to any other fishes, although there are some discrepancies between the two criteria and different outgroups used. It shares with Diplomystus the high supraoccipital crest, pelvic-fin insertion in advance of dorsal fin origin, and the number of predorsal scutes more than 20. The new form represents the youngest ellimmichthyiform fish record in the world. Its discovery indicates that the members of the Ellimmichthyiformes had a wider distribution range and a longer evolutional history than previously known.

“…guangxiense are markedly tapering downward from the middle part of the fruit to the base. However, the micromorphological characteristics (cell size and shape, prominently pitted cell walls) of the B. guangxiense endocarp (Dong et al, 2018; Figs. 5D–5F, 5J–5L) are very similar to those of fruit fossils from the Maoming Basin.…”

The genus Burretiodendron Rehder is currently endemic to an area near the China–Vietnam border and the limestone mountains of Thailand and Myanmar. The fossil records of this genus were previously found only from the Miocene of Yunnan, Southwest China, and the Oligocene of Guangxi, South China. Here, we describe fossil fruits and associated leaves of Burretiodendron, which were discovered in the lower Oligocene Shangcun Formation of the Maoming Basin, Guangdong, South China. Morphological comparison with extant and fossil Burretiodendron taxa indicates that fruit fossils belong to the species Burretiodendron parvifructum J. Lebreton Anberrée & Z. K. Zhou. This is one of the earliest fossil records of the genus, providing additional evidence for the early biogeographic history of this genus and supporting the inference that the genus originated in South China. According to the habitat conditions of modern species, we speculate that there were limestone mountains around the Maoming Basin in the early Oligocene.
