Jian is a microraptorine dromaeosaur, and the only non-avian dinosaur so far discovered from the Xiagou Formation of what is now China. Typical of microraptorinae, Jian had long pennaceous feathers growing from its arms as well as its legs, and was small in size, growing to approximately 1 m in total body length.

Life restoration of the large, Middle Triassic Nevadan ichthyosaur Cymbopsondylus petrinus. This illustration is primarily based on specimen UCMP 9950, with much of the tail restored following UCMP 9947. The size of the eye was reconstructed based on UCMP 9954 and UCMP 9913. The unknown distal portions of the flippers, as well as some of the tail, was reconstructed after the related genus Xinminosaurus. References Merriam, J. C.

The GSSP for the Hirnantian stage in the ICS geological timescale (uppermost Ordovician stage), located in the Wangjiawan profile (an outcrop of black shale, brownishly weathered siliceous shale and chert layers of the Wufeng Formation) along the G241 road, about 40 km north of Yichang, Hubei, China. An exact golden spike is missing in the profile (2025) but a memorial plague marks the place. The GSSP occurs at the first appearance of fossils of the graptolite species Normalograptus extraordinarius. It was ratified in 2006.
