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.

Huashanosaurus is a basal sauropod dinosaur that lived from the Early to Middle Jurassic periods of what is now China. It was a long-necked herbivore which still exhibited many basal traits of the earlier sauropodomorphs, while transitioning to obligate quardupedality. Huashanosaurus grew to approximately 12 m in length, and weighed around 10 t.

Fujianvenator is an anchiornithid avialan from the Late Jurassic of China, whose discovery gave important insight to the evolution of birds. It had proportionately long legs, with the tibia twice the length of the femur. This suggests it may have been a strong runner, and possibly had a terrestrial or wading lifestyle. Fujianvenator was a small dinosaur, weighing about 640 g. As an avialan, it was almost certainly covered in feathers, though it does not seem likely to have been capable of flight.
