大连茶叶沟古脊椎动物群的发现及其意义

THE FOUND AND SIGNIFICANCE OF A PALAEO-VERTEBRATE FAUNA IN CHAYEGOU OF DALIAN

大连茶叶沟洞穴堆积物中含有脊椎动物化石6属、6种,时代为晚更新世。该脊椎动物群明显地反映了华北脊椎动物群和东北脊椎动物群的过渡性质,它对研究动物的迁徙、地层对比以及大连地区第四纪地层划分具有意义。人工打击过的骰骨和置问号的大连智人的发现更为重要。

In 1986, a Palaeo-vertebrate fauna was unearthed from Chayegou in Dalian. There are six Genus and six Species of vertebrate fossils of late Pleistocene epoch in the accumulation of a cave in Chayegou of Dalian. The vertebrate fauna obviously represents a transition nature between those of North China and of Northeast China. The discovery of the fauna is important for studying the migration and correlation of the vertebrates tetween North China and Northeast China during the late Pleistocene and for dividing Quaternary strata in Dalian. The Caboid striked by mankind and ? Homo Sapiens Dalianensis are more important.
