There are a successive section and a complete sedimentary sequence of the Dabeigou and Dadi-anzi Formations at Zhangjiagou,Huodoushan Village,Luanping County,Hebei Province.Abundant ostra-cod fossils were found in the sections ;they may be grouped into three assemblage zones:Ⅰ.Luanpingel-la-Eoparacypris-Pseudoparacypridopsis assemblage zone,Ⅱ.Yanshanina-Cypridea-Rhinocypris assemblage zone,andⅢ.Cypridea-Yanshanina-Timiriasevia assemblage zone.Assemblage zoneⅠ,distributed in the Dabeigou Formation,shows the late Late Jurassic features;whereas assemblage zonesⅡandⅢ,which are found in the Dadianzi Formation and in which Cypridea began to appear in large amount ,evidently show the early Early Cretaceous features.So the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary should be placed between assem-blage zoneⅠand assemblage zoneⅡ,i.e.between the Dabeigou Formation and the Dadianzi Formation.The conglomerate and sandy conglomerate between the two formations have facially changed into alternat-ing beds of sandstone and mudstone at the Zhangjiagou section.The thickness of the strata in which no fossils have been found decreases from56m at the Dadianzi Donggou section to only9.11m at the Zhangjiagou section.Therefore the Zhangjiagou section is better than the Dadianzi Donggou section and may serve as an ideal candidate section for the non -marine Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary stratotype in northern China.
