Plateau is a land of
miracles. Possesing abundant, diverse, ancient organisms fossil of both
scientific value
and ornamental value, Guizhou is known as a kingdom of ancient
organism. In the past 20
years, geologists and palaeontologist found large quantities of rare
fossils formed and
preserved in the distinctive circumstances in their exploration on
Weng’an Biota, Kaili
Biota, and Guanling Biota. This new discovery has not only enlarged the
fossil family
of this land, but also attracted attention of the counterparts home and
abroad due to
its uniques. Many of them come to Guizhou for investigation. By
providing rich pictures
and captions, from a unique visual angle, The Selection of Fossils of
Guizhou-the of
Ancient Organisms presents to you some snapshouts of the evolution
process of the lives
on this planet in the past several hundred million years.
Contents
1.Weng’an Biota Weng’an Biota was named by Yuan Shunlai in 1993. it
came into being
in the phosphorites of Early Sinian Doushantuo Formation. The fossils
were phosphatized
and preserved in solid forms. Containing filamentous and globular
cyanophyte and
metazoan embryo fossils, it was a multi-phyla fossil biota dominated by
bottom dwelling
multicellular algae and large size spiniferous acritarch.
2.Miaohe Biota Miaohe Biota
was first discovered by Zhu Gougan and Chen Meng in the blackly
carbonaceous shale at
the top of the Doushantou Formation of Neoproterozic in Miaohe, Zigui,
Hubei in 1978.
it is mainly composed of benthonic megascopic algae, including a few
putative metazoans.
They were persevered by arbonaceous compressions on surfaces of the
black shale at upper
of Doushantou Formation in Miaohe, Zigui, Hubei.
3.Niutitang Biota The Niutitang Biota
discovered by M.Steiner, E.Wallis from Technological University of
Berlin and Prof. Zhao
Yuanlong, post-graduated student Guo Qingjun, Assistant Zhou Zhen,
Ph..D.student Yang
Ruidong from Guizhou University. It occurs in black mudrock of the
Niutitang Formation
at the Heehapao, Songlin Town, Zunyi County, Guizhou, includes a great
number sponge
fossils of Leptomitus, Saetaspongia, Choia, Solatinella,
Crumillospongia, Triticispongia,
Haylosinca of porifea and Naraoia, Isoxys, Perspicaris, Tsunyidiscus,
Songlinella of
arthropda etc. up to now the Niutitant Biota is composed of fossils
over 26 genera among
6 phyla.
They are: 1. algae; 2. porifera; 3. colenterata; 4. worms; 5. mollusca;
6.
arthropods, including trilobitomorphs, large bivalve arthropods,
bradoriids. The Niutitang
Biota imparts new information about Cambrian of early Metazoa.
Discovery of the Biota,
makes evolutionary series of Cambrian Burgess Shale-type Biota extend
down closer to the
Pre-Cambrian and Cambrian boundary; provides other important
information for the definition
of the Cambrian Explosion Appearance of great number of sponges, shows
time of diversification
of sponges earlier than Chengjiang Biota, and provides information
concerning the origin
the fauna and its paleogeography. Occurrence of the Niutitang Biota and
Chengjiang Biota,
also shows Burgess Shale-type Biota are origin the South-west China.
Therefore, this is
and important Biota who has scientific significance.
4.Kaili Biota The Kaili Biota contains
for representatives of 11 phyla, namely:
1.algae, including red algae, brown algae, and
coralline algae etc. 2. acritarchs; 3. porifera, including sponges and
chancelloriids;
4. coelenterate, including cnidaria, 5. “worm”; 6. lobopodia, 7.
medusiform fossils;
8. brachiopoda; 9. mollusca; including hyolithids, monoplacophorids
andbivalves;
10. arthropods, including trilobite, trilobitioids, bradorriias, large
bivalve arthropods,
and other arthropods, 11. the fossils of uncertain in classification,
including Wiwaxia,
Triplexia.
5.Guizhou Dinosaur Fauna The Guizhou Dinosaur Fauna in this album
refers to
the multi-phyla fossil biota, discovered in the Upper Triassic Zhuganpo
member of Falang
Formation (about 230 million years age) in Xingyi of Guizhou Province
and the surrounding
areas, represented by the Hu;s Guizhou Dinosaurs and other marine
reptiles, and associated
with losts of thishes, ammonites, bivalves, brachiopods, shrimps,
crinoids and conodonts.
This fauna widely distributed in the Zhuganpo member of Falang
Formation in southwestern
Guizhou (Longguang of Anlong, Dingxiao and Wusha of Xingyi) and
southwestern Yunnan
(Luopong and Fuyuang and etc). it was a fauna living in a comparatively
deeper water of
the shallow sea.
6.Guanling Fossil Biota Guanling Fossil Biota-the major Discovery of
Triassic Marine Animals in China. Guanling Fossil Biota was found in
the Upper Triassic
Wayao Member of Falang Formation (about 220 million years ago) at Xinpu
of Guanling Buyi
and Miao Autonomous Coutny and its adjacent areas. The fossils biota is
characterized by
the rich marine reptiles and crinoids, accompanied with abundant
fishes, cephalopods (
ammonite, nautilus), bivalves, conodonts, brachiopods, and diverse
terrestrial plants.
It is therefore praised as the only treasury of late Triassic marine
reptiles in the world.

自贡地区侏罗纪恐龙动物群
In Chinese with English summary
************************************************************************
Peng Guangzhao/2005/185x260mm/236 pages/Hardcover/$55
Zigong, a famous historical and cultural city of China, is situated in
southern
Sichuan province and covers an area of about 433.13 km2, it is a hilled
region
that exposes a continuous and widespread Mesozoic red beds in which
contain rich
fossil vertebrates, especially the Jurassic fossil dinosaurs. Since
1915 of the
first dinosaur fossil discovered by an American geologist Dr. George D.
Louderback
from Rongxian (Jung Hsien), more than 180 localities of fossil
vertebrated have
been found from Zigong region, among which about 130 localities of
fossil dinosaurs.
As a result, Zigong has become the most famous region of fossil
dinosaurs and other
vertebrates, and is named as the Hometown of Dinosaurs. After the works
of ninety
years by numerous geologists and paleontologists from home and abroad,
countless of
fossil dinosaurs and other vertebrates have been excavated and a great
of academic
achievemens have been made. Especially in recent 30 years or more, a
lot of important
discoveries and historical breakthroughs have been achieved, Zigong has
become a focus
region to which paleontologists pay more attention. This book is a step
systematic
conclusion about the discoveries of fossil dinosaurs and other
vertebrates from Zigong
region and achievements of scientific researches as well as a few new
finds from the
aspect of the vertebrate assemblages. It is dedicated to Dr. George D.
Louderback and
all the people that have made contributions to the discoveries,
excavations and studies
of fossil dinosaurs and other vertebrates from Zigong region. The
Jurassic continental
sediments in Zigong region are well developed. The thickness of the
deposits is about
1034-2220m, composed mainly of grey limestones, purplish red mudstones
and light grey
sandstones, and covers about 75% of the earth surface of this region.
These sediments
present characteristic of the fluvial or lacustrine facies, and were
classified from
lower to upper as the early Jurassic Zhenzhuchong and Ziliujing for
mations, the Middle
Jurassic Xintiangou and Xiashaximiao (Lower Shaximiao) formations, the
late Jurassic
Shangshaximiao (Upper Shaximiao), Suining and Penglaizhen formations.
Rich and various
remains of dinosaurs and other vertebrates have been found in these
strata and can be
divided into three related faunas: the early Jurassic
Prosauropoda-Lufengosaurus Fauna,
the Middle Jurassic Sauropoda-Shunosaurus Fauna, and the Late Jurassic
Sauropoda-Mamenchisaurus Fauna.

**************************************************************
By Chen Junyuan/2004/222*292mm/366 pages/Hardcover/$110
The Cambrian is a geologic period that began around 542 million years
ago (see below)
and ended about 490 million years ago.
The Cambrian Period is the earliest period
in whose rocks are found numerous large, distinctly-fossiliz- able
multicellular
organisms more complex than sponges or medusoids. During this time,
roughly fifty
separate major groups of
organisms or"phyla"(including almost all the basic body plans of modern
animals) emerged suddenly,
in most cases without evident
precursors. This radiation of animal phyla is referred to as the
Cambrian
explosion.
The dawn of animal world had came through wenan radicalization,
yidikala radiation,
meishucun radiation,
and maotianshan radiation one by one. This process is Punctuated
Equilib- rium that different from after
500 million years. In this book, 547 color photos were embodied.

Rudists and Facies of the Periadriatic Domain
In English
**************************************************
By Riccardo Cestari & Dario
Sartorio/1995/250x305mm/207pages/Hardcover/$55
Rudists are fossil bivalves that lived on the margins of the Tethyan
Ocean and adjacent
areas from the end of the
Jurassic until the end of the Cretaceous. These sessile
benthic organisms flourished in carbonate platform environments
and characterize
several Cretaceous successions as significant organic builders and
sediment producers.
This makes it
possible to correlate different paleogeographic domains from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Middle East. The aim of this
atlas is to examine in detail the particular role that Rudist facies
played in the development and history of Cretaceous
carbonate
platforms of the Periadriatic Domain. In this area, which in a
paleogeographical
sense belongs to the Apulian Plate, many Mesozoic
carbonate platform successions
crop out. These successions belong to broad platform complexes which
display a pattern
aligned
with the present-day 1sea. In these limestones, various Rudist facies
are
present, often making it possible to date and to correlate
successions encountered
by wells with those observable in outcrops. For this reason, we though
it would be useful to assemble and
to illustrate the ample documentations that has been acquired
over the years so as to update the situation as regards Rudists and the
related facies in the this area. This present volume has been conceived
as and aid to all
those who are working on these topics by taking
different approaches including sequence
stratigraphy, which is considered to be an important methodology for
analyzing the
evolution of
carbonate platforms. Another objective of our work is to better define
the Rudist-bearing Periadriatic successions and to compare them
with those of other
Tethyan Domains that developed in different tectono-sedimentary
settings. The first
chapter of the atlas illustrates the
evolution of the main Rudist families as well
as those features useful for theiri dentification and taxonomic
determination, both
in outcrop
and core analysis. To simplify the presentation of their
characteristics,
in view of the difficulty of isolating complete specimens of Rudists
from the mainly
massive limestones of the Periadriatic Domain, some specimens collected
from other
regions have also been illustrated.
Genera with particular stratigraphic significance
for this Domain are also briefly discussed. This chapter closes with an
illustration
of
the stratigraphic distribution of the most significant Rudists of the
Periadriatic
area. The next chapter, regarding Rudist sediments and
their depositional environments,
also introduces a classification of Rudist facies that can be applied
both to outcrop
and sub-surface and
which can be easily utilized in oil exploration. The third chapter
illustrates the most important Rudist assemblages of the Periadriatic
Domain
in time. SeventeenRudist events (from Event A to Event Q) have been
identified in stratigraphic
succession, taking into account macro-and
micropaleontological assemblages and correlations
with other areas (France, Spain, North Africa, Middle East and others)
where the
same,
or similar, facies comprise important paleontological markers such as
the ammonites and planktonic forams. In this chapter several Rudist
facies,
mainly of
outcrops, are shown in considerable detail in thin and polished
sections and often
with their micropaleontological assemblages.
The final chapter concerns the role played by these mollusks in oil and
gas exploration.
In fact, their shells and the bioclasts that derive
there from often improve the
petrophysical features of the rocks that characterize many oil and gas
reservoirs,
including those of the
Periadriatic Domain.

The Jehol Biota-The Emergence of Feathered Dinosaurs, Beaked Birds and
Flowering
Plants
In English
****************************************************************************************
Mee-mann Chang/2003/280x290mm/208 pages/Hardcover/$130
In the recent years, the late Mesozoic Jehol Biota of northern
China has shown the
world some of the most astonishing fossil finds ever since the
discovery of the first complete skeleton of Archaeopteryx
in 1861, and thus has become the focus of many important
paleontological researches in the global arena. On the Biota"s
fabu-lous roster
are the four-winged dinosaur and many feathered ones, first beaked
bird and many of its allies, first plants with flowers and fruits,
fishes with
the
potential to un-lock the mystery of their origins, mammals of the
special interests
to their early evolution, pterosaurs that rules the Mesozoic
skies, and thousands
species of inver-tebrates (e.g.,mollusks,conchostracans,
ostracods,shrimps,insects,and
spiders)that constitute a community
of truly "wonderful life". These exquisitely preserved fossils not only
give us a vivid picture of once a thriving
biodiversity but also shed new light
on a number of interesting theoretical issues
in evolutionary biology today, such as the origin and angin and early
evolution of some major taxonomic
groups(e.g., amphibians,birds and angiosperms),the origin
of feather and avian fligt, and the co-evoution of pollinating insects
and flowering
plants.
The Jehol Biota also bears significantly on paleobiogeography,
paleoecology,
paleoclimate and paleobiography, paleoecology, paleoclimate
and paleoenvironments
during the Mesozoic. This book has pieced together the most up-to-date
information on the Jehol Biota
that is otherwise
Scattered in the vast technical literature and unavailable to the
general readers.
The first two chapters give an inviting introduction to the Jehol Biota
in terms
of its history of studies, its main components, its scientific
importance, its geographical,
geological and biostratigraphic framework,and its
renowned fossil discoveries. Each
of the remaining chapters deals with a particular organismal group of
the Biota by its leading expert(s). In addition,
the book is lavished with nearly 280 illustrations,which
include 200 photographs that show diversity of the taxa and beauty of
their preservations.
The colored life restorations, elegantly done by some of China"s most
celebrated
primarily at an educated public, the book is also an invalu-able source
of information
for the students and professionals in paleontology,geology,
evolutionary biology,
and science education in general

The purpose of this book is to present the results of our
studies on the alteration
of the Holocene biota in time and space and the sedimentary and
geochemical indicators
in Jianhu and the adjacent areas,
northern Jiangsu, and to discuss the palaeoenvironmental
changes, essentially to study future environmental changes in these
regions. The
authors carried
out field investigations in the study area and collected fossil
specimens and sediment samples at the Qingfeng section of Jianhu,
Jianhu brick-field
and Sanchakou
brick-field of Jianhu, the Liujun section of Huai' an and the Xiyuan
section of Funing. Systematic sampling was madde in the Qingfeng
section,
where eight
kinds of fossils including sporo-pollen, charophytes, foraminifers,
ostracods, gastropods, bivalves, microinsects and acarids were forund
and identified.
The 8
palynological zones were estabilished and 3 foraminiferal assemblages,
4 ostracod
assemblages and 3 bivalve communities were recobgnized in the section.
Gastropods,
micro-insects and acarids are restricted to several layers in the
section and charophytes
are only distribted in its top part. The palaeoecology of
these faunas is discussed.
The biotic alternation is clearly showed in the Qingfeng section. On
the basis of
the biotic variance, it is suggested that the Holocene
transgression started at about 6900a BP and the highest sea level
appeared in the time from 6400a BP to 5400a
BP in the study area. After 5400a BP
the sea level was gradually declined and the
sea water rapidly retreated from this area at about 4500a BP. From
2200a BP to 1000a
BP happened
another transgression, which was much smaller in intensity than the
preceding one. The Holocene palaeoenvironment can be reconstructed in
Qingfeng
region
as follows: coastal muddy marsh - coastal salted mud flat - inner bay -
neritic bay - salted nearshore lowland-freshened lagoon. According to
the
palynological data, the Hypsithermal interval is deted at 8500-3700a BP
in Jianhu and the climatic
corresponded well to the Holocene global climatic changes.

Terminal Proterozoic rocks outcrop on the Yangtze Platform in South
China, from
Yunnan Province in the west to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the
east, and from
the Yangtze Gorges area to Guizhou province and Guangxi
Zhuang Automomous Region.
These proterozoic successions are little metamorphosed and contain
abundant and diverse beautifully preserved fossils.
Building upon the research of dozens of palaeontologists
in the last few decades, we begin to understand the Terminal
Proterozoic biodiversity
through the
taphonomic windows preserved in Doushantuo rocks at Weng'an, Miaohe,
and Lantian. The Weng'an Biota in Guizhou Province is best known for
its
phosphatized
algae and animals, exquisitely preserved at cellular level and in three
dimensions.
The Miaohe Biota, rivaling the Burgess Shale in preservational
style and quality,
contains beautifully preserved carbonaceous compressions on the banks
of the equally
beautiful yangtze Gorges. The Lantian Flora,
entombed in terminal Proterozoic rocks
near Lantian,-a southern Anhui town rich in culture and history, also
features diverse
carbonaceous compressions.
These three biotas are of similar geological age, follwing
the proterozoic glaciation recorded in the Nantuo Tillite about 600
million years
ago but preceding
the Cambrian Explosion 544 million years ago. In combination, these
three fossil assemblages allow a clearer and more complete
understanding of
the
proterozoic biosphere just before the Ediacaran and Cambrian
diversification
animas.

It provides precious materials for enriching the theory of evolution.
The Cambrian
represents the beginning of a long sequence of geological time known
collectively
as the Phanerozoic. This term is composed of the Greek words planners,
meaning visible,
obvious, and Zion, animal. This was to stress the
difference from the older, once
seemingly unfossiliferous Precambrian rocks, the Cryptozoic. Although
both microfossils
and macrofossils are now known
from Precambrian rocks, particularly from late Precambrian,
there is the striking difference in numbers and types of fossils with
those in the
Phanerozoic.
However, the situation varies in detail. In some
areas Cambrian rocks
may contain many fossils, whereas in others there are sandstone's or
other rocks
that are commonly poorly fossiliferous. In addition,
different fossils occur in the Cambian in different parts of the world,
which makes it difficult when making

In the Kunming region, the Chengjiang fauna-bearing strata of Lower
Cambrian Heilinpu
Formation, especially the Yuanshan Member are well developed and widely
spreaded,
having great potential in searching for new
localities of the Chengjiang fauna. From 1992 to 1998, sponsored
by the Yunnan Provinceial science & Technology Conmission and the
Ministry of
Geology and Mineral Resources, we carried out searching
and exploring of the Chengjiang fosssils round the Kunming region, and
about 5000
speciemens
were collected at Haikou, Kunming, including abundant soft-bodied
arthropods
and diversed worms, lophophorates, sponges, brachiopods, hyolithes,
macroalgal fossils,
uncertain taxa and ichnofossils. This book gives a detailed
introduction about the research history, stratigraphic
horizon and geographic
distribution of Chengjiang fauna in the kunming region. The
classification and composition of the fauna are discussed with
comparison to that
in the
Chengjiang region. The paleoecology and taphonomy of some early taxa
are briefly reviewed. It is important to note that a new softbodied
fauna,
named as Gaunshan fauna is here reported for the first time from the
Lower Cambrian Wulongqing
Formation in the Kunming region, and a
comparison of its composition to the Chengjiang
and the malong
faunas is made. Altogether 111 species assigned to 101 genera of 18
fossil groups are described from the Kunming region, among them 48
species
and 36 genera are new. They belong
respectively to the Chengjiang and Guanshan faunas. The new significant
discovery
greatly enriches the contents
of early faunas and is of great importance for understanding
the geological and geographical distribution of the Early Cambrian
biotas in eastern
Yunnan
and their paleoecological and taphonomic environments. 1. The Cambrian

*************************************************************************************************
Edited by Dong Zhiming/1973/185x260mm/51pages+17plates/Paperback/$15
An early Cretaceous(Tugulo series) reptilian fauna is
described in a series of papers
in the present memoir. The materials were collected in 1964 by members
of the paleontological
expedition
to Sinkiang of IVPP from Wuerho district, in the northwestern part of
Dzungar Basin. This fauna includes the following reptile species:
Chelonian, Pterosauria, Crocodilian,
Plesiosauria, Saurischia And Ornithischia. The reptilian fossils are
all found in
a series (Tugulo) of lacustrine
sediments. The fauna in general can be slosely correlated
with that of Morrison fauna of the Rocky Mountain region of the western
north America,
but some of the forms are nearer to those of Cloverly formation.
A leading form in this fauna is Dsungaripterus, which is considered by
Young to
represent a new family and suborder of the pterosaurs. It is a large
form with well-developed
medial crest on the skull and the anterior teeth entirely
disappeared. Based on these advanced characteristics Young has
suggested an early Cretaceous age for it.
The occurrence of a small theropoda,
Phaedrolosaurus ilikensis,, which is comparable
with Deinonychus from the Lower Cretaceous of Montana, supports this
view. Therefore,
We have tentatively
set the age of the Tugulo fauna of Wuerho at the early Early
Cretaceous.

East Qinling-Dabashan area is one of the important places for the study
of the Early
Paleozoic crustal evolution in East China. This book will detail the 16
Cambrian
sections in the area and systematically describe trilobites
found there; the 81 genera or subgenera and 161 species or subspecies
(or undetermined and indelinite
species) blonging respectively to 4 orders,
4 suborders, 14 superfamilies, 36 families,
in which there are 2 new families, 12 new genera (or subgenera) and 71
new species.
Based on this ,
the sequence of the Cambrian system in each stratigraphic areas is
reconstructed in which there are 2 new groups, 12 new formations and 20
trilobite
assemblage zones (or zones) established; many genera and species
of agnositids, present in upper Middle Cambrian, provide facility for
intercontinental correlation
of the trillobite zones; in addition, 7 maps of lithofacies and
paleogeography have
been made. The study of the Cambrian strata,
lithofacies, paleogeography and trilobites
in this area is of great significance for a better understading of the
trilobite
geographic proincialization, the
Cambrian crustal volution and the distribution law of the useful

The Upper Cave Fauna of Choukoutien -New Series C, NO.10
In English
*********************************************************
By Pei Wen-chuang/1940/220x295mm/84 pages, with VIII plates and 38 text
figures/Paperback/$190
Introduction The present volume contains the study of the fauna, except
the avifauna found in
the Upper Cave of Choukoutien. This Cave,
as previously reported on several occasions,
has yielded an industry of Palaeolithic nature, human fossils of Homo
sapiens type
and a rich fauna.
This is the first time that such a cave is known in China or
Easter
Asia. And the study of it marks the beginning of a new stage in
palaeolithic research
i
n this part of the world, along the most classical lines of European
prehistory.
A description of the Upper Cave Industry has already been published
(Pei, 1939f)
containing, as an introductory note, the history of the excavation, the
description
of the Cave, and also the geological evidence leading us to fix
the correct age fo the site. However, the dating of the Upper Cave as
Late Pleistocene is largely
determined by the fauna. In the present volume we will
analyse this fauna in detail
and then discuss the position of this animal “assemblage” in the
evolution of Chinese
mammals in the Quaternary times. The fossils
collected in the Upper Cave are mostly
in an excellent state of preservation. Complete skeletons and skulls
were often met with throughout the Cave during
the excavation. In the Lower Recess (vide Pei,
1939f, P. 9), skeletons of deer, bear, Hyaena, etc. were piled in a
limited space.
Such conditions favour the
assumption that this deep cave had acted as a natural
trap for animals, or else, that part of them were brought in as prey by
some carnivorous
beasts.
The durations of human occupation seem to have been very short, since
the
cultural layers are always thin and limited to a restricted a area in
the deposits.
On the other hand, the numerous remains of tigers, young and old,
suggest that this
animal was periodically the master of the place.
This whole series is NO.125

units of sedimentary rock
are perfect from the middle Proterozic to Quaternary system
in this area. Because Guizhou area in geological history
still was covered by seawater
before late Triassic period, the abundantly fossiliferous marine strata
is well developed.
Continental strata consists of a little rock of Jurassic, Cretaceous,
Tertiary and soil of quaternary. The Jurassic strata
exposed over western Guizhou
as a whole, while the others only scatter. The fossils discovered in
strata of Guizhou are
very abundant and have various types
in preserved. They are distributed among 20 phyla and include a more

On the basis of precise regional stratigraphic classification and
correlation with
analysis of biofacies and lithofacies, Phanerozoic
palaeogeography of Northwest China is reconstructd period by period.
Outline of plate tectonic patterns in different
epoch and
geolgoical development is revealed largely according to the spatial and
temporal distribution of characteristic biotas and similar
facies belts. As a whole,
palaeozoic history is essentially one of rifting, dispersal and
collision involving
the Siberia, Kazakhstan, Tarim
and North China plates, resulting in their gradual
incorporation. From the Middle Triasic onwords the geological evolution
is
mainly
the process of amalgamation of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau into Eurasia
follwong northward subductions of the India
Plate. In addition, the geological characters
and displacements of the Altun-Beishan Geowedge and west junggar
Nappe are also discussed in detail.

Atlas of the Palaeogeography of China
In English
****************************************
Institute of Geology and Wuhan College of
Geology/1985/380x280mm/301/Hardcover/$77
The atlas is in octavo volume. It includes 123 plates consisting of
palaeogeographic
maps, palaeobiogeo graphic maps,
columnar sections and sedimentation profiles, etc.
They are arranged in groups in the order of diminishing age, in
accordance
with tectonic stages. The map groups of each stage usually begin with a
palaeotectonic
map and each geologic period starts
with an outcrop map. An outline map showing a geotectonic units of
China and a series of regional tectonic profiles showing their
historic development came last in the atlas with the function of a
summary.
A topographic map of China was put in advance of
other maps as a reference for location
of specific geographic names. In the general legend are included those
commonly used in
palaeogeographic maps, columnar sections and sedimentation profiles,
which
are given in the beginning of the volume.
Legends used only in specified maps, such
as the palaeotectonic and palaeobiogeographic, are given in the
respective plates.
A separate legend is compiled for the quaternary. The explanatory texts
amounts to about 200,000 words and appear after all the maps,
arranged in order of age. For the convenience of foreign readers an
abridged English explanation has been prepared, which
contains a complete translation of the first chapter(general account)
and abstracts of the remaining chapters. Legends and professional
annotation on the maps are also given in English an Chinese. The main
aim of this atlas is thus
to reveal the fundamental course in
palaeogeographic development and crustal evolution
of China, and to appraise its position and implication in global
tectonics.
We hope
this Atlas will fullfill the following requirements: 1.Through the
combined research
in palaeogeography and palaeotectonics
and the coordination of the plate tectonics
theory and classical geotectonic concepts, it will lead t a better
understanding
of the
interesting and varied tectonic and palaeogeographic development of
China,
so as to enrich and supplement the new globle
tectonics theory. 2. It will provide
a general information on sedimentary environment and geotectonic
background for a strategic
perspective of sedimentary and strata-bound mineral deposits and
furnish
basic geological data material for study of their distribution
and metallogenetic
conditions. 3. With its clear and systematic viewpoint and mode of
presentation,
with the coordination of the various
maps and explanations, it will help geologists
working in various fields, teachers and students in geology and
geography in universities,
colleges to understand the general history of crustal evolution of
China, and to
furnish scientific workers in other fields with
relevent information they may need.

In recent years, many revolutionary discoveries from China have been
adding to and
rewriting the history of evolution. Examples include
evidence of the bio-explosion
of early Cambrian-Chengjiang fauna; new discovery of earliest(580
million years ago bio-fauna from Guizhou)
abundant dinosaur fossils in different areas of China;
ancient birds from Liaoning; discovery of and research on the Miocene
mammals of
northwestern China; and the new human fossil discoveries such as Hexian
Man and Tangshan Man. These discoveries bring illumination and
hope for paleontologists during a difficult time. This book outlines
the kinds of fossil animals discovered

Rhinotitan mongoliensis is member of titanothere
perissodactyla, it lived in Asia
in the late Eocene time. Their fossils have been extensively found in
China in the
provinces of
Shanxi, Henan and Nei Monggol, and are particularly abundant in the
latter region. A team of the 1959 Sino-Soviet Paleontological
Expedition excavated an amazingly
rich collection of titanothere fossils at Ula Usu, Nei Monggol. The
skeleton of Rhinotitan mongoliensis
described in this monograph was one of the most interesting
and best preserved specimens in the collection. In the present paper
the
osteology and mycology of R. monogoliensisi are studied
in detail with respect to the functional morphology. The phylogenetic
and
systematic
position of the genus and species and their relationship with American
titanotheres
are discussed.

CONTENTS Foreward I. Carnivora, Proboscidea and Rodentia from Liucheng
Gigantopithecus Cave and Other
Caves in
Guangxi In the present Memoir, the author has described 28 forms of
Quaternary fossils of
the order Carnivora collected in the
years 1956-1961 from about 80 caves in Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region, including one cave of Early Pleistocene
(No.5704,
the Liucheng Gigantopithecus Cave), one of Neolithic age (No. 5619) and
all others of
Middle and Late Pleistocene. These 28 forms
comprise 7 families and 14 genera. Twenty
of them have their specific names determined, while eight are not

CONTENTS I. Comoprehensive Study on the Jinniushan Paleolithic
Site----by Zhang Senshui et
al. Jinniushan is a small isolated hill
with an elevation of 69.3m and only covers an
area of about 0.3 square kilometers. It is situated in the lower course
of the Liaohe
River and
about 20km to the east of Yinkou City and 5km south of Dashiqiao Town.
The hill is lithologically composed of proterozoic dolomite-marble,
sericite-marble,
pinolite, binary-schist, quartz-schist and tremolite-schist. The rock
strata were
forced by strong geotectonic movements
into there presents 60o-70o dip angles. In
order to get a systematic overview of the Jinniushan site, the leader
of the Yinkou
Museum,
invited the authors of this report to make a synthetic study of these
materials
and the following results have been obtained. II. Avian
Fossils of Pleistocene from Zhoukoudian------By Hou Lianhai This paper
presents the results of our investigation of a large collection
of fossil
bird materials excavated from the caves of Pleistocene of Zhoukoudian
during the
field seasons of 1927-1980. Altogether
122 species are described, including one new genus and six new species.
They are refewed to 78 genera, 31 families, and 13
orders.
On the basis of ecological studies and the comparisons with the other
known
groups of the Pleistocene birds, we are of the opinion that the
Chinese groups of
Pleistocene birds from Zhoukoudian have close phylogenetic
relationships with those
of Europe and have similarities with
Pleistocene birds of Africa and America.

In Chinese with English summary
*********************************************
Zhang Jianping/2004/266x192mm/353 pages+64 plates/Hardcover/$48
The first chapter, Identification, Nomenclature and Classification
of Trace Fossils,
introduces definitions of ichnology. It covers information on how to
identify and
distinguish trace fossils from other
sedimentary markers. Classification of trace
fossils is briefly discussed with the emphasis on the Seilacher’s
ethological classification.
It may generate readers’ interest to focus on the characters that are
used as classification
criteria for ichnogenus and ichnospecies.
The second chapter, Methods and Techniques
of Ichnology, offers current research methodology for studies of trace
fossils, including both
field methods and laboratory techniques for fossil and modern traces.
Trace fossils from drill cores are emphasized due to its practical
application
values
in the oil industry. Dill core sections containing trace fossils are
exemplified,
and their identification criteria are also discussed.
Paleoecological application
of ichnofossils is illustrated in the chapter three. It mainly concerns
with the
reconstruction of paleoenvironments using
trace fossils. Identification of ancient
environmental factors, such as water depth, salinity, oxygen, water
energy and substrate
are discussed.
The usage of trace fossils in recognizing geological events and in
distinguishing marine, non-marine and transitional facies is the main
coverage
for
this chapter. Ichnofabric and bioturbation in drill cores and
applications of ichnofossils
to sequence stratigraphy is also covered. The fourth
chapter discusses ichnocoenoses
and their paleoenvironmental significance in China, focusing on
ichnocoenoses that
have been reported from
China. Chapter1 Identification, Nomenclature, and Classification of

Researches of Ailuropoda―Stegodon Fauna from Gulin China
中国古蔺大熊猫一剑齿象动物群研究

****************************************************************
By Yang Xinglong & Yang Daihuai/1995/140x200mm/73pages/Paperback/$8
The findings collected from Yiemao Cave contain 1 kind of spiral
shell(an invertebrate),
38 kinds of mammals, 9 teeth of humanity
and 3 spieces of potsherd, of which Ailuropoda
melanolenca baconi, Stegodon orientalis, Megatapirus augustus,
Rhinoceros sinensis,
Sus cf xiaozhu and so on become extinct and most of them are living
species. The
fauna is characterized by clear late Pleistocene through
a study on it. As some humanity’s teeth of the Neolithic period and
potsherd with a rope pattern are unearthed
from the fossiliferous horizon
it is considered that the Gulin fauna is not the late Pleistocene, but
the Holocene in age. Through an anlysis of sporopollenin and
based on 14C
dating, its absolute period is eventually dated the Holocene of 13 800
±560aB.P.. The present paper is testified that the Gulin fauna has the
charater
of transition from the Ailuropoda―Stegodon Fauna of late Pleistocene to
modern fauna
and the extinct time of Ailuropoda―Stegodon
dates back to the Holocene. The discovery
of Gulin fauna has an important Significance in studying on the
animals’s evolution,
in differentiating
the geological age of the Quaternary period, in making a comparison
between strata and in variations of the paleoclimate
and the paleongeography.

Chinese fossils of
the genus Equus, some new conclusions on the taxonomy, evolution,
biostratigraphy, paleoclimatology, chronology and so on about the
genus Equus are
achieved, which gets better knowledge of the Chinese fossils of the
genus Equus and develops applications of mammal
fossils on climatic changes. The review and revision to the Chinese
fossils of the genus Equus have important theoretic significance.
The

The present paper deals with the systematic study of the pseudosuchians
from Wuhsiang,
Yueshe, Ningwu, Chinglo and Shinghsien,
collected by the members of the Institute
of Veterbrete Palaeoanthropology during the years 1955, 1956, 1959 and
1960. Three
genera and four species of pseudosuchians are described, attributing to
three super-families
of this sub-order. Shansisuchus shansisuchus
is richly represented, forming the main bulk of the whole material. On
account of the presence of two preorbital openings,
so different from
all other known pseudosuchians, it is suggested to erect a new
family for it. A small species probably of the same genus is described
as
Shansisuchus heiyuekouensis.
The third form is a large pseudosuchian with the lateral side of the
dorsal vertebrate
crested and covered scutes.
It is described as Fenhosuchus cristatus. It belongs
to the super-family chirotherioidea. The fourth form is a small
pseudosuchian, also
with scutes,
belonging to the super-family Ornithosuchoidea Wangisuchus tzeyii.

The dinosaur fossils from Zigong are well known in the world by the
numerous quantity,
various categories, beautiful
preservation and dense accumulation. To exploit and
utilize fully the dinosaur fossil resources of Zigong is of
significance for the
development of the paleontology of our country and the economic
development of Zigong.
The publication of “annals of the
Dinosaur Fossils from Zigong” is doubtless conducive
to pushing the exploitation and utilization of the dinosaur fossils
forward.
“Annals of the Dinosaur Fossils from Zigong” is characterized by clear
ideas and
proper style, real details and objective description.
This book, supplements with
pictures, tables and appendices, described all-sidedly the geographical
distribution
of the dinosaur
fossils and the history and current situation of the collections,
preparations and studies. It is a special annals with much more

Since the past half a century ,the paleontologists and geologists
around the world
have been paying their great attention to the well―known
Lufeng Basin .The Lufeng
Sauris china fauna was discovered by late professor Bian Meiliang ,a
famous Chinese
geologist,in 1938.Praofessor
Bian and professor Yang Zhongjian ,a late leading paleontotogidt

and made
a
further research to Lufeng Red Strata and the fossils collected from
the Lufeng Basin.Both of them published so many
papers and monographs
in home and abroad .Since
1949 ,the institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of
Academia
Sinica,the Gelological
Museum of China,Beijing Natural History Museum etc.and many
ferign exports used to do a lot of fieldworks and collected a large
numbers o

Oviraptorid Dinosaurs from Southern China

Lu Junchang/2005/185x260mm/200 pages + 8 plates/Paperback/$28
Heyuannia huangi Lu, 2003 from the Late Cretaceous of Southern China is
described
in detail. The revised diagnosis of
Heyuannia huangi includes the following characters:
quadratojugal articular surface of the quadrate groove-lke, the
quadrate
diverticulum
entering the quadrate anterolaterally, metacarpal I wrapped around
metacarpal II
proximally, pneumatic foramina
present on the neural arches and ribs of cervical
vertebrae, the angle between the scapula and coracoid approximately
145o,
the ratio
of coracoid length to scapular length approximately 0.35, the pubis as
long as ischium,
and the ratio of femur length
to tibia length 0.8. Two new oviraptorids from the
nanxiong Basin are also described. A phylogenetic analysis was carried
out
in two
parts. The first phylogenetic analysis is to test the systematic
position of Oviraptorosauria
among ceolurosaurid dinosaurs.
This analysis shows that Oviraptorosauria form a monophyletic group.
Incisivosaurus gauthieri is the most basal oviraptorosaur and
Caudipteryx is the second most primitive form. Alvarezsauridae is a
sister group
to TO (Therizinosauroidea and oviraptorosauria).
Within this more inclusive analysis
(among Ceolurosauria), all the derived forms of Oviraptorosauria
(excluding the Primitive forms
such as Incisivosaurus gauthieri and Caudipteryx zoui) form an
unresolved
polytomy. The second analysis is to determine the
interrelation-ships among oviraptorosaurs.
This less inclusive analysis (only a few groups of Ceolurosauria were
employed for
analysis)
allows better resolution within Oviraptorosauria. The analysis shows
that
all oviraptorosaurs form a monophyletic group, Incisivosaurus
gauthieri is the most
basal oviraptotosaur, Caudipteryx zoui is the second most primitive
form and Avimimus
portentosus is basal to the
derived oviraptorosaurs. The two new taxa from Nanxiong
Basin are not nested within same clade.Specimen BPV-112 may be the
first
caenagnathid
oviraptorosaur found from southern China.

Hu Chengzhi/1999/185x260mm/139 pages +18 plates/Hardcover/$35
In August 1964, a comprehensive research party of the Bureau of
Petroleum Geology,
Ministry of Geology discovered a new
fossiliferous site and collected some fossil
remains from the Cretaceous beds in Zhucheng County, Shandong Province.
These
fossils
include tibia bone of a fairly large-sized hadrosaur. Later excavations
were made
at the same site in 1964, 1965, 1966 and
1968 by the Institute of Geolgoy and the
Museum of Geology, as a result of which a large quantity about thirty
tons of dinosaurian
bones were collected. The fossils were found in a layer of greyish
green conglomeratic
sandstone, belonging to the Wangshi.Group
of late Cretaceous age. The site lies at the end of a gully named
Longgujian which is about on kilometer north of Kugou
village in the
district of Lubiao, Zhucheng County. All fossils were excavated from
the single quarry, which the bones had been disarticulated
during deposition. Among
the collections there are about ten more or less preserved maxillae,
five right and five left ones, which
represent at least five individuals of hadrosaurians in
the quarry. After the preparation of dinosaurian bones a omposite
skeleton
was mounted
up, and displayed in the Palaeontological Hall of the Beijing Museum of
Natural History from April 1972 to October
1982. The mounted skeleteon is about 1470cm in
length. As some of the fossil remains were somewhat obscured after the
mounting
of the skeleton and the time for their study was limited, only a
preliminary research
was made. A new generic and specific name
Shantungosaurus giganteus was proposed
in the paper published 1973. The composite skeleton is preserved in
trhe National
Geological Museum of China and designated by Catalogue number V 1780.
The type of
the skull is rather long, low, and narrow
in front but high and broad posteriorly.
The absent parts of the skull have been restored and the skeleton
mounted up once
again.
The restored skull is 1630mm in length. The most important osteological
features
of the species are briefly given below. The skull is
tolerably preserved from the
plane of the exoccipital to the anterior end of frontals. The
postorbital is well
preserved of the right side,
but it is damaged on the left side. The skull is 620mm
in length, 465mm in breadth of posterior
part and 325mm in height. On its
superior
surface, there is a low depression extending toward the anterior end of
frontals.
The frontal bone has the shape of a shallow
dish. The supratemporal fossa is anterior-posteriorly
elongated. The exoccipital is roughened on the surface. The sutures
around the
squamosal
and parietals are clearly visible. There is a perfect process of
parietal on the
right side, but the left one has been broken
away from the beam. A tubercle-like
element of interparietal is prominent and lies at the posterior end of
the frontals
which is nearly
rectangular and constricted at the lateral margins. Its outl | |
