The Jiangshan-Shaoxing-Pingxiang Fault(JSP Fault) is traditionally considered as the boundary between the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in South China. Whether the previously defined Shenshan and Kuli formations locate...
The latest Permian extinction(252 Myr ago)was the most severe in the geologic record.On land,widespread Late Permian gymnosperm/seed-fern dominated forests appear to have suffered rapid and almost complete destruction...

This note reports the first discovery of Middle-Late Ordovician acritarchs from the Buqingshan ophio-lite complex of the southern ophiolite zone of East Kunlun. The acritarch assemblage is dominated with acanthomor-ph...
A preliminary study on the ultrastructure of Middle Permian Acritarch Micrhystridiumfrom western Yunnan has been made using laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). Some quite new features about the texture and ultr...
STAPLIN revealed that palaeoenvironment changes seem to control acritarch distribution patterns. However, scientists have been puzzled by the fact that characteristic offshore acritarchs occur with nearshore ones. Thi...
