THE PALAEOECOLOGY OF THE FAUNAL FROM PERMIAN SYSTEM IN GUANGDONG

The Permian sediments are widely distributed in Guangdong, and fully developed in the northern, eastern and western-nothern parts of province, are also main coal-bearing strata. The Permian faunas are very abundant, with a great of fossils, mostly collected from the mudstone and limestone. They consist of 421 species and 183 genera, mainly including Fusulinids, Brachiopoda, Bivalves, Cephalopoda, Conodont and so on. Acording to these faunal palaeoecological qualities, condition of distribution and sedimentary environment, the Permian palaeobiogeography of Guangdong is divided into two regions:the Lianyang region and the northern-eastern-central Guangdong region. Then there are 12 communites in ascending order which belong to the shallow sea water faces or the faces between land and shallow sea water.
