【Abstract】 The east Yangtze Gorges area of Hubei Province is the location where thetypical Sinian section of China is well developed. This paper mainly reports thata large amount of well preserved Sindubulites were collected from the base ofthe Baimatuo Member of the Dengying Formation along the Yangtze River atChanziya of Miaohe and that some small shelly fossils were also collected fromblack limestone at the base of the Shuijingtuo Formation, associated with Saballi-ditidae. Besides, a lot of well preserved Planolites have been collected from bothbanks of the Yangtze River at Liantuo. Sinotubulites, which was first found alongthe river at Natuo, was named ? Cloundina by Chen Meng’e in 1977, which was also renamed Sinolubulites by Chen Meng’e (Menge et al.,1981). After then, the samefossils were found by A. S. McMenamin from the pre-trilobites bed of La CienegaFormation in the northwest part of Sonora in Moxico. However, the discovery of somany Sinotubulites in the Miaohe area shows its vast geographic distribution. Smallshelly fossils in pre-trilobites strata in the Gorges area were reported from theeast and south flanks of the Huangling Anticline. The discovery of Sinotubulitesassociated with Sabelliditidae, on its two flanks is very similar to the feature inthe lower part of the Nemakit-Daldyn Bed in the north Siberlian Platform ofRussia. Planolites was only reported from the base of the Tienzhushan Member ofthe Dengying Formation before. Now, these fossils were found from the base of theShibantan Member, which occur in a lower bed. This fauna mentioned above notonly enriches the fauna of the Sinian System of China in biostratigraphy, but alsoshows an important siginficance in the study of faunal evolution in the early stageof geological history更多还原
