The present work focuses on the systematic representative's species of the Family Phylloceratidae Zittel, 1884, of the Family Gaudryceratidae Spath 1927, of the Family Oppeliidae H. Douvillé, 1890, and of the Family Desmoceratidae Zittel, 1895, all of which are for the first time in the basin. Based on previous studies and assemblage fauna in this study, a late Barremian-early Aptian age is suggested for the measured sequences. The palaeobiogeographical distribution of the ammonites indicates that during the late Barremian to the late Aptian the basin formed part of the Tethyan realm, Mediterranean-Himalayan Province. The studied fauna and other reported ammonites in previous publication might suggest nearshore to offshore an epipelagic to pelagic environment.

The sediments consist mainly of semi-consolidated gravel, sand, silt, and clay, indicating that the woods were transported by the ancient Ping River. Macroscopic features revealed that preservation of these fossils (e.g., intercellular spaces, iron oxides, quartz crystals, colors, and weathering conditions) shared many similarities to some petrified trunks in Tak Province. We investigated both large (approx. 0.50–0.7<!--> <!-->m wide, at least 10–20 meters long) and small fragments of fossils for both wood anatomical features and mineralogy.

Most, if not all, of the faunas have stronger relationships with Indochinese than with East Asian taxa, suggesting that colonisation largely followed the Siva- or Sino-Malayan routes, allowing turtles to invade the Sunda Shelf and disperse further east during periods of low sea-level. On the other hand, there is nearly no fossil data to understand the origin of the six endemic Malesian species, but molecular studies suggest that most of these taxa may have evolved in Malesia well before the Quaternary dispersal of the Indochinese fauna.
