河南宜阳石千峰组植物组合的发现及其意义
THE DISCOVERY OF A PLANT FOSSIL ASSEMBLAGE IN THE SHIQIANFENG FORMATION IN YIYANG, HENAN, AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

摘要: 河南省晚二叠世石千峰组(相当山西孙家沟组,下同。),很少有具时代意义化石的报导,近年来,笔者在编写《河南省区域地质志》过程中,首次在宜阳县南天门煤矿附近的石千峰组中采到了植物化石和动物化石叶肢介,经地矿部天津地质矿产研究所王自强鉴定,确认为晚二叠世晚期的重要植物组合。其地层剖面如下。Abstract: Plant fossils and Estheria fossils were collected by the authors from the Shiqianfeng Formation near the Nantiamen coal mine, Yiyang county. Henan province. The plant fossils were identified to be an important plant assemblage of latest Permian age. The plant fossils at the base of the formation are dominated by conifers, including 5 genera, 2 species, 2 species conformis and 2 indeterminate species, and the Ullmannia bronnii-Pseudouoltzia cf. liebeana assemblage may be established. The discovery of this plant assemblage has provided new formation not only for the determination of the age of the Shiqianfeng Formation in Henan but also for the correlation of the ages of the contemporaneous strata in China and abroad.
