The Moqi Fauna is a lagerstätte found in Morin Dawa Daur Autonomous Banner , Inner Mongolia , China . It consists of a suite of fossilised prehistoric animals from the late Early Cretaceous (Aptian ) period, with an age range of 125–120 million years ago. The Moqi Fauna is similar to the roughly coeval Jehol Biota . Fish, amphibian, reptile (including dinosaur), and bird remains are most common in the Moqi Fauna.[ 1]
Guanghua Formation overlies Longjiang Formation .
