The trilobite biostratigraphy for the Balang and "Tsinghsutung" formations

Ongoing work is carrying out in the Balang and "Tsinghsutung&quot formations to aim a suitable candidate for the base of the Cambrian Series 2 Stage 4. The revision of the trilobite systematics and zonation shed light about the stratigraphic distribution and the geographical distribution of...

Description
Summary:Ongoing work is carrying out in the Balang and "Tsinghsutung&quot formations to aim a suitable candidate for the base of the Cambrian Series 2 Stage 4. The revision of the trilobite systematics and zonation shed light about the stratigraphic distribution and the geographical distribution of the new trilobite-based zones in the Balang area (South China). Our results suggest that either Otyctocarella duyunensis or Arthricocephalus chauveaui could be good candidates since they also occur in the Eoaagnostus roddyi-Arthricocephalus chauveaui Zone of the Henson Gletscher Formation North Greenland.
