On the basis of the distributions of the identified species, seven conodont zones have been recognized in ascending order as follows, Neogondolella changxingensis zone, Neogondolella yini zone, Hindeodus changxingensis zone, Neogon- dolella taylorae zone, Hindeodus parvus zone, Isarcicella staeschei zone, and IsarciceUa isarcica zone. The successive occurrences of Hindeodus changxingensis, NeogondoleUa taylorae and Hindeodus parvus serve as proxies for defining the P-T biostratigraphy boundary at the base of Sub-bed 21-4 of Bed 21 in the Yangou Section. Correlations with the Meishan Section are also discussed in terms of conodont bio-stratigraphy. Three successive conodont faunal assemblages are grouped through the P-T transitional interval to examine the evolution of conodonts across the great transitional event.展开更多

The conodont Neospathodus waageni is suggested as the index fossil of the boundary. According to the FAD of N. waageni , the IOB is at the base of bed 25 2 of the West Pingdingshan Section in Chaohu, 42.19 m above the Permian Triassic boundary, and it is slightly higher than the base of the Flemingites Euflemingites Ammonoid Zone at the section.展开更多
