THE LATE CARBONIFEROUS STRATA FROM NORTH MARGIN OF QAIDAM BASIN
柴达木盆地北缘晚石炭世地层

The paper deals with the late Carboniferous strata from north margin of Qaidam basin. The Late Carboniferous sequence has been established and the strata is subdivided as follows:Upper Carboniferous upper part: Zhabusagaxiu Formation Upper member: Pseudoschwagerina Zone ii. Eoparafusulina-Zellia subzone i. Sphaeroschwagerina subzoneDietyoclostus taiyuanfuensis-Eliva lyra assemblage zone Lower member:Triticites paraarcticus-Quasifusulina paracompacta assemblage Marginifera-Choristites palovi assemblage zone Upper Carboniferous Lower part: Keluke Formation 4. member:Fusulina-Fusulinella assemblage zoneAlexenia reticulatus-Brachythyrina strangwaysi assemblage zone 3. member;Profusulinella-Pseudostaffella qinghaiensis assemblage zone 1-2. member: Choristites gobicus assemblage zoneEostaf fella subsolana-Pseudowedekindellina prolixa assemblage zone The writer also gives a correlation of the Late Carboniferous strata is home and the Character of this fauna is analysed.
