【摘要】 <正> 近二十年来我国地质工作者对交通困难的空白地区和边远地区作了大量的地质调查。六十年代初对西北祁连山、天山、内蒙古和兴安岭等地区进行了地层研究,近年来对准噶尔——阿尔泰、博格达山、北山以及黑龙江北部的石炭系都开展了调查研究。证明上述地区的石炭系,无论生物群面貌或地层发育的情况都和华南区或华北区有显著的不同。我国一向非常重视对青藏高原的科学考察,特别是对喜马拉雅的珠穆朗玛峰进行了更多还原

【Abstract】 The Carboniferous System of China is chiefly distributed in the Tienshan-Xingan geosyncline of North China, in the Yangtze paraplatform of South China and in the Kunlun-Qinling, Western Yunnan-Himalaya geosynclines of Western China.On the basis of both the characteristics and the origin of the marine faunas, three palaeobiogeographical provinces may be differentiated during the early Lower Carboniferous epoch in China: 1) South China Province (Chinese type), 2) Northern China Province (mainly Siberian—North American type), and 3) Western China Province (mixed type of South and Northern China). In the later epoch of the Lower Carboniferous the 3 provinces seemed to have combined into unified Chinese See and formed actually a part of the extensive Tethys of Eastern Asia.A correlation of the Carboniferous within China and an intercontinental correlation of it as well as boundaries between biostratigraphical subdivision of Carboniferous System are discussed in this paper.更多还原
