The Balang Fauna—A new early Cambrian Fauna from Kaili City, Guizhou Province
The Balang Fauna―A new early Cambrian Fauna from Kaili City, Guizhou Province

In April 2004, Wu Yishan, a teacher from Kaili No. 4 Middle School, took his students to Wenglingtang to conduct popular science activities. They found fossils of trilobites and eocrinoids in gray and gray-greenish silty shale, and calcareous, silty mudrock in the upper part of the lower Cambrian Balang Formation. In May 2004, we were invited to investigate the new discovery.
