The Upper Cretaceous composed of, in ascender order, Linjiazhuang Formation, Xingezhuang Formation and Hongtuya Formation, is developed in Zhucheng Basin, eastern Shandong Province. The Xingezhuang Formation is consisted of purple fine grained clastic rocks.  Based upon detailed studies on lithofacies and sedimentology, a fluvial fan and braided—channel depositional model has been developed for the Late Cretaceous depositions in Zhucheng, eastern Shandong Province. Using this model, major taphonomic modes of occurrence of vertebrate remains found within the study sequences are readily explicable in terms of the sedimentary context of their host lithofacies.
