Significance
Very high
very diverse vascular plant (Dicroidium Flora, especially rich in gymnosperms) and insect biota, dinosaur trackways, rare fish
Extremely rich fossil flora (ferns, horsetails, gymnosperm including conifers, ginkgophytes, cycads, seed ferns etc), silicified woods, palynormphs.
Apart from important insect fauna, animal fossils very sparse, including rare fish, conchostracans, bivalves as well as invertebrate trace fossils and dinosaur tracks.
Additional Comments
Key Triassic continental biota. Richest Triassic floras in the world (Dicroidium Flora of Gondwana).
Rare trackways provide some of the earliest indirect evidence for first dinosaurs.
