The Furaoan Stage was used as the uppermost chronostratigraphic unit of non-marine Cretaceous in China. It is rich in sporo-pollen fossils at its type section in the Wuyan area near the Heilongiiang (A-tour) River. In recent years, through systematic investigation of the Furaoan strata, a rich assemblage of sporo-pollen fossils has been described. This sporo-pollen assemblage allows a correlation with upper member of the Mingshui Formation in the Songliao Basin and upper member of the Taizhou Formation in the South Yellow Sea-North Jiangsu Basin. It suggests an Early Paleocene age, rather than a latest Cretaceous Maastrichtian age.
