A preliminary description is provided for Hesslandona sp. (Phosphatocopida, Crustacea, Arthro-poda) and Skara sp. (Skaracarida, Crustaceam, Arthropoda). The scientific significance of Orsten-type preservation and prospects for future work on these fossils from Hunan are outlined.展开更多
文章运用层序地层学的原理和方法,结合沉积相分析,对江南过渡带(安徽石台—黟县一带)寒武纪中晚期地层进行了露头层序地层分析。研究表明:江南过渡带的寒武纪中晚期地层可划分出1个二级层序和7个三级层序,平均每个三级层序历时约3.1Ma,...文章运用层序地层学的原理和方法,结合沉积相分析,对江南过渡带(安徽石台—黟县一带)寒武纪中晚期地层进行了露头层序地层分析。研究表明:江南过渡带的寒武纪中晚期地层可划分出1个二级层序和7个三级层序,平均每个三级层序历时约3.1Ma,反映该区域在寒武纪中晚期曾出现7次相对较大的海平面升降旋回。三级层序发育海侵体系域(transgressive systems tract,TST)和高水位体系域(highstand systems tract,HST),有时缺失低水位体系域(lowstand systems tract,LST),局部凝缩段(condensed section,CS)难以识别。通过对江南过渡带北西—南东向7条剖面的对比分析发现,该区域当时的古地理呈北西侧高南东侧低之势,海水向南东方向持续退出。北西侧下扬子地层分区为台地,水体较浅,灰质成分含量较高;南东侧江南地层分区为盆地,水体较深,泥质成分含量较高;中间的江南过渡带,主体为斜坡相沉积,局部发育重力流沉积。二级、三级层序的形成与发展可能与江南断裂在同沉积期的活动密切相关。展开更多

The results indicate that the provincialism of the late Middle through middle Late Cambrian paraconodonts and protoconodonts did exist. The provincialism of Ordovician conodonts can be traced back to late Middle Cambrian. The North China Province and South China Province can be recognized in late Middle Cambrian, whereas the North China Province, South China Province and Balitca Province can be recognized respectively in early Late Cambrian and middle Late Cambrian. The possibility that the larger units of provincialism, i.e. Faunal Regions existed in the areas mentioned above is discussed. It is inferred that the Midcontinent Faunal Region and the Atlantic Faunal Region had existed in early Late Cambrian and middle Late Cambrian. The North China Province was the secondary unit of provincialism in the Midcontinent Faunal Region, while the Baltica Province was that in the Atlantic Faunal Region. The South China展开更多
