"Basic?"

What does "basic" signify in the phrase "interspersed with basic volcanic and sedimentary rocks"? Alkaline? Common ordinary? Base?Fundamental? I'd edit if I knew which.--Wetman (talk) 16:18, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Doahuqou Formation merger

An article exists at Doahuqou Formation which I suspect is a misspelling of Daohugou. Since Daohugou Formation already redirects here, if this article is a misspelling then it should be merged into here. Rincewind42 (talk) 13:49, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
