The Phu Kradung Formation sediments were deposited in a lake-dominated floodplain cut by meandering and occasionally braided river channels.[2]
The Phu Kradung Formation is considered, on the basis of recent vertebrae fossil discoveries, to be
Late Jurassic in age. However, new
palynology and biostratigraphic data suggests an age of
Early Cretaceous for the upper section.[2][3]
Dinosaur remains have been recovered from this formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific
genus.[4][5]
Chalawan, an
extinctgenus of
pholidosauridmesoeucrocodylian, is currently known solely from its
holotype, a nearly complete
mandible collected in the early 1980s from a road-cut near the town of
Nong Bua Lamphu in the upper part of the Phu Kradung Formation. This single specimen is the most well preserved vertebrate fossil that has been found from the formation. It contains a single species, Chalawan thailandicus.[6]
