Naobaogou Formation
The Naobaogou Formation is a geological formation in the Daqing Mountains of China. It is likely of Lopingian age. It consists of three rhythms of sediment, labelled members I-III primarily of purple siltstone, but each with a thick basal conglomerate. It is notable for its fossil content, producing one of the most diverse Late Permian vertebrate faunas outside Russia and South Africa.[1]

| Genus | Species | Material | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caodeyao [2] | C. liuyufengi | Partial skull, mandible, humerus | A Eutherocephalian, closely related to Purlovia. |
| Daqingshanodon[3] | D. limbus | Skull | Dicynodont |
| Elginia[1] | E. wuyongae | Partial skull | Pareiasaur |
| Jiufengia[4] | J. Jiai | Partial skull and postcranial skeleton | Akidnognathid Therocephalian |
