Abstract: The Shanwang Basin is located in Linqu County, Shandong (formerly Shantung) Province, east China (36°54'N, 118°21'E). It is a small basin of Neogene lacustrine deposits which covers less than 1 km2 in area. The Shanwang Formation is a standard section of Neogene stratigraphy in China and the geological age of the Shanwang Formation is the Middle Miocene ( 15-17 Ma). So far, more than ten major groups of organisms have been discovered from the 20 m thick diatomaceous earth in the middle part of the Shanwang Formation. They include plant megafossils, pollen and pores, fungi, diatoms, insects, amphibians, reptiles, fish and mammals, etc. Since Professor C. C. Young began Shanwang research in 1936, it has gone through 3 stages: 1) Geological survey of the Shanwang Formation and systematic description of fossils (1930s-1940s); 2) Studies on stratigraphical sequence and geological age, additions to fossil record and superficial revision of fossils as well as qualitative reconstruction of palaeoenvironment of Shanwang area during the Miocene (1950s-1980s) and 3) Interdisciplinary comprehensive studies on fossils using integrated biology and quantitative reconstruction of the palaeoclimate using modern approaches (1990s-present). So far, there has been an extensive literature for this site pertaining to the sedimentary geology of the Shanwang Formation and palaeoclimatic interpretations indicated by fossil biota. However, much of the literature is in Chinese and the significance of the site is under appreciated amongst scientific community. The objective of compiling this bilingual bibliography is to collect the literature about Shanwang research (1936 - 2000) as much as possible and make the data readily available to present and future researchers. The bibliography is divided into 7 parts and listed in chronological order. Each entry has its original language, followed by the corresponding translation, either English or Chinese. The Chinese references are cited as their English titles were given in Chinese journals. Note that the spellings of some Chinese names (place and person) were changed after 1974. For example, 'Shantung' and 'Shandong' , 'Linchu' and 'Linqu' refer to the same places respectively; 'Sung' and 'Song' refer to the same family name.
