A new Olenekian(Early Triassic) conodont biostratigraphic study for stratum that contains fish-bearing-nodule levels is conducted based on the Longtan(LT) Section of Nanjing City and the Qingshan(QS) Section of Jurong County, Jiangsu Province, South China. A total of 101 samples were collected at the two sections and three conodont zones were recognized: in ascending order, they are Scythogondolella(Sc.) milleri Zone, Novispathodus(Nv.) pingdingshanensis Zone, and Triassospathodus(Tr.) aff. homeri Zone. The Scythogondolella milleri Zone is globally recognized as the uppermost conodont zone of the Smithian and the base of the Novispathodus pingdingshanensis Zone was previously suggested as the marker of the Smithian-Spathian boundary in the Yangtze region. The fish-bearing-nodule levels of Nanjing and Jurong are within the conodont Scythogondolella milleri Zone, laterally correlated well with the upper part of the Novispathodus waageni Zone in Chaohu of Anhui Province that also contains fish-bearing-nodule levels. The conodont biostratigraphic correlation confirms the Early Triassic fish-bearing-nodule levels in the Lower Yangtze region are coeval, with an end-Smithian in age.展开更多
Research on chemo-biostratigraphy reveals that the periodic fluctuation of Ce/La ratios in carbonate sequence may reflect Milankovitch 100 ka eccentricity cyclicity.

The Ce/La curve of the upper Famennian of Huangmao (Guangxi) may be well correlated to that of Muhua (Guizhou) and of Mid-Tarim (Xinjiang). They correspond not only in curve-feature, but also in number of cycles. Huangmao and Mid-Tarim are now located 3 000 km apart, during the Devonian possibly they were located farther apart. This study proves that the simultaneous sedimentary record of Milankovitch eccentricity cycles with a recurrent interval of 100 ka may be traced at different long-range sites. These cycles simultaneously developed in different depositional settings among different facies suites as a result of regional to global climate forcing, thus supporting the Milankovitch Theory.展开更多

The study indicates that these chemo-cycles with time spans of 0.10 Ma have an internal relation with paleoclimatic changes, and it might have an origin through Milankovitch eccentricity cyclicity.展开更多
