A new set of fossil-bearing beds, Daohugou fossil-bearing beds, is found in the Daohugou area, Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia. The Daohugou biota represented by the fossil beds is the key to the study of the cause for the extinction of the Yanliao biota and the origin of the Jehol biota. The accurate Ar-Ar and SHRIMP U-Pb dating shows that the age of intermediate-acid volcanic rocks overlying the Daohugou fossil-bearing beds is about 164-165 Ma, and that the age of this fossil-bearing beds is older than or equal to 165 Ma. Therefore the authors draw the conclusion that the age of the Daohugou biota is tens of million years earlier than that of the Jehol biota, and it should belong to the Yanliao biota or to a transitional type between the Yanliao biota and Jehol biota.
