Naobaogou Formation
The Naobaogou Formation is a geological formation in the Daqing Mountains of China. It is 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.

Vertebrate Fauna
| Genus | Species | Material | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caodeyao [1] | C. liuyufengi | Partial skull, mandible, humerus | A Eutherocephalian, closely related to Purlovia. |
| Daqingshanodon[2] | D. limbus | Skull | Dicynodont |
| Elginia[3] | E. wuyongae | Partial skull | Pareiasaur |
| Jiufengia[4] | J. Jiai | Partial skull and postcranial skeleton | Akidnognathid Therocephalian |
| Shiguaignathus[5] | S. wangi | Partial skull | Akidnognathid Therocephalian |
| Gansurhinus[6] | G. qingtoushanensis | Captorhinid | |
| Dicynodontia | Indeterminate | Partial skulls | 6 additional morphotypes in addition to Daqingshanodon, 2 of which are closely related to the former taxon 3 or 4 related to Jimusaria, one possibly closely related to Turfanodon.[7] |
