... embryos, along with sponge spicules, hyolithelminths, and linguliformean brachiopods, from the upper Shuijingtuo Formation limestone (Cambrian Stage 3) at Changyang, Hubei Province, South China. This limestone unit has carbonate carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions similar to the upper Shuijingtuo...

...Tao Dai; Xingliang Zhang A bstract A number of immature and mature exoskeletons allow the first detailed description of the ontogeny of the early Cambrian redlichiid trilobite Metaredlichia cylindrica, from black shale of the Shuijingtuo Formation in Hubei Province, South China. The material...

... of Moczydłowska ( 1991 ) and Yao et al. ( 2005 ). The Ediacaran to lower Cambrian successions of the Yangtze Gorges area are composed, in ascending order, of the Nantuo, Doushantuo, Dengying, Yanjiahe and Shuijingtuo formations (Chen, 1987 ; Zhao et al. 1988 ; Ding et al. 1996 ; Guo et al. 2008...

... is composed of varicoloured dolostones, containing small shelly fossils and generally accepted as Meishucunian in age. The overlying Shuijingtuo Formation is a sequence of black shales containing large carbonate concretions, approaching 2 m in diameter. The black shales yield trilobite Hupeidiscus , recently...

... Formation rests unconformably on the dolomitic Baimatuo Member of the Ediacaran Dengying Formation. The contact between the Yanjiahe Formation and the overlying Shuijingtuo Formation is disconformable, representing a relatively minor time gap (Chen, 1984 ; Ding et al., 1992 ; Guo et al., 2008 , 2009...

... extracted from deep-water limestones in the lower Cambrian Yu'anshan and Shuijingtuo Formations ( Zhang and Pratt, 2008 ). Three-dimensionally preserved Orsten-type fossils with soft parts appear to result from a combination of high phosphate availability and an absence of bioturbators ( Orr et al...

...Huan Cui; Shuhai Xiao; Yaoping Cai; Sara Peek; Rebecca E. Plummer; Alan J. Kaufman Abstract The terminal Ediacaran Dengying Formation ( c . 551.1–538.8 Ma) in South China is one of two successions where Ediacara-type macrofossils are preserved in carbonate facies along with skeletal fossils...

...CHUAN YANG; XIAN-HUA LI; MAOYAN ZHU; DANIEL J. CONDON Abstract Fossiliferous Ediacaran successions of South China, the Doushantuo and Dengying formations and their equivalents, are key to understanding bio- and geological evolution at the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian transition. However, their absolute...

... fossiliferous interzone, respectively. Both the K-bentonites in the base of the Niutitang Formation at the Songlin, Gezhongwu, and Yankong sections in Guizhou Province and those in the base of the Shuijingtuo Formation at the Taishanmiao section in Hubei Province occur in the poorly fossiliferous interzone. Due...
