In this paper, the authors report the discovery of the Balang Fauna from a new locality of the Balang Formation at Luojiatang Village, Yangqiao Town, Cengong County. At the Luojiatang locality, only the middle and upper parts of the formation are exposed. The section is comprised of a monofacial succession of grey silty shales and silty calcareous mudstones. The eocrinoid Guizhoueocrinus yui Zhao, Parsley et Peng, 2007 was found in the upper part of this formation, and associated with brachiopods, hyolith molluscs, arthropods, and other taxa. The new fossil assemblage includes 8 genera and 9 species from different groups. The discovery extends the geographical distribution of this fauna.
