They found a lots of fossils including trilobites and eocrinoids in gray, gray-greenish silty shale, and calcareous, silty mudstone in the upper part of the Lower Cambrian Balang Formation. Through field detailed investigation, except for numerous trilobite specimens, and (echinoderm) eocrinoids the findings includes bradoriids, large bivalved arthropods, coelenterates, brachiopods, mollusks, and a large number of ichnofossils. It is a fossil assemblage of polyphyla. So, according to the Balang Formation where the fossils were collected, the fossil assemblage is named as the Balang Fauna(Peng Jin et al., 2005).
