该点含化石地层属于晚中新世柳树组。该点最重要的化石为弱獠猪(Microstonyx major)头骨和临夏鸵鸟(Struthio linxiaensis)的腰带骨骼,其中临夏鸵鸟(Struthio linxiaensis)是为数不多的保存相对完好的骨骼标本之一,将中国鸵鸟的历史推早几百万年。
The fossil-bearing strata at this site are the Late Miocene Liushu Formation. The most important fossils are the skull of Microstonyx and the belt skeleton of Struthio linxiaensis. Struthio linxiaensis is one of the few relatively well-preserved bone specimens, pushing the history of the Chinese ostrich back several million years.
