中国中、下寒武统界线的划分

华南过渡区中、下寒武统界线位于Ｂａｔｈｙｎｏｔｕｓ－Ｎａｎｇａｏｐｓ组合带与Ｏｒｙｃｔｏｃｅｐｈａｌｕｓ－Ｘｉｎｇｒｅｎａｓｐｉｓ组合带之间，可与北美·西伯利亚等地的界线对比。贵州凯里相区是华南乃至中国中、下寒武统界线划分最好的地区，台江八郎凯里组剖面是潜在的最佳界线剖面之一．提出中、下寒武统界线划分的原则及依据。     

贵州台江早寒武世台江动物群的发现及意义

贵州台江八郎凯里组剖面中下部中、下寒武统界线之下厚达１５米左右的粉砂质泥岩、页岩中存在着一个类似凯里动物群的台江动物群,由８个门类３９个属组成,核心为蠕形动物,三叶虫数量很多。形成于内陆棚浅海环境。时代为早寒武世末期,介于著名的早寒武世早期澄江动物群和中寒武世早期凯里动物群之间,对于早期后生动物的演化研究具有重要的意义。     

Proposal and prospects for the global Lower-Middle Cambrian boundary

In recent years paleontologists have been working on the global stratotype section and standard point (GSSP) for the Lower-Middle Cambrian boundary in North America, China, Morocco, Spain and Russia. Continually, they suggest the potential first appearance datum (FAD) of the Middle Cambrian, such as Oryctocephalus indicus, Ovatoryctocara granulata, Acadoparadoxides mureroensis, Hupeolenus and Arthricocephalus chauveaui as being relevant to the potential stratotype section for the Lower-Middle Cambrian boundary. There are only a few trilobites distributed widely enough in the Early to Middle Cambrian connection, so virtually no trilobite(s) can act as the FAD for the global Middle Cambrian. The easily identified Oryctocephalus indicus is widely distributed in three realms of the global Cambrian. Its first appearance position is linked to the extinction of old species coevolution of new ones. It appears to be a comparatively good FAD of Middle Cambrian. The continuous and unbroken Wuliu section (Balang, Taijiang County, Guizhou Province, China) includes O. indicus and co-occurs with many benthic and nektonic trilobites. The evolution of acritarchs in the section, the changed characteristics of trace elements (REE and C isotopes) are generally consistent with the evolution of trilobites both above and below the boundary. Strata above the boundary yield the famous Kaili Biota. The Wuliu section is easily accessible from a main highway.     

Oryctocephalops和Ovatoryctocara在我国台江的发现及意义

台江八郎、丹寨岩英等地的中-下寒武统凯里组下部地层中，发现了广泛分布于西伯利亚中寒武统下部的Oryctocephalops Lermontova，1940和Ovatoryctocara Techernysheva 1962.这一发现使Oryctocephalops及Ovatoryctocara分布的时代下限延伸至下寒武统顶部，分布范围扩大至亚洲南部；根据这一发现及原有Oryctocephalops和Ovatoryctocara的报导，推测该两属可能在早寒武世晚期起源于我国西南地区；它们的发现还使早寒武世亚太生物大区和西伯利亚过渡生物大区的差异减小，具有古生物学及古地理意义。
