Palaeontologia Sinica “Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian Fusulinids from Western Guizhou” Published
       Updatetime: 2010-08-27 Printer      Text Size:A A A 

Palaeontologia Sinica “Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian Fusulinids from Western Guizhou” by Professor Zhang Linxin, Associate Professor Zhou Jianping and the late Academician Professor Sheng Jinzhang from Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology Chinese Academy of Sciences is currently published by Science Press, Beijing, 2010.

This monograph introduces four stratigraphic sections in western Guizhou (e.g. Panxian, Weining and Shuicheng). The geologic time is Upper Carboniferous Luosuan, Huashibanian, Dalan and Xiaoyaoan stages as well as Lower Permian Zisong and Longlin stages. The fusulinids described and illustrated comprise 357 species and subspecies belonging to 35 genera, of which 21 species are new forms.

This book applies the concept of multiple stratigraphic divisions in modern stratigraphy and discusses strata respectively in chronostratigraphic unit, lithostratigraphic unit and biostratigraphic unit. According to the stratigraphic distribution of fossils, 16 fusulinid zones are established from the bottom of Upper Carboniferous to the top of lower Permian in west Guizhou. Among the fusulinid zones, the Luosuan stage has 1 zone, Huashibanian 2, Dalan 6, Xiaoyaoan 3, Zisong 2 and Longlin 2. Furthermore, they are compared with the strata and Fusulinid fauna surviving the same era in different places in China and the world.
