Chuaria-Tawuia生物群在海南岛石碌群的发现及意义

本文研究了海南岛石碌群第六层上部所产的Chuaria-Tawuia宏观藻类生物群。肯定石碌群含铁矿层为青白口系。解决了长期争论的海南岛石碌铁矿的时代问题。为今后在该岛及华南地区进一步寻找这一类型铁矿指出方向;也为建立和完善海南岛地层层序奠定基础。     

DISCOVERY OF Chuaria-Tawuia ASSEMBLAGE IN SHILU GROUP, HAINAN ISLAND AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

The late Precambrian algal megafossils, Chuaria-Tawuia assemblage, were found for the first time in Bed 6 of the Shilu Group, Hainan Island, South China. Consequently. the geological age of the iron-ore deposits of the Shilu Group can be determined and placed into the Qingbaikou System. This meaningful discovery offers sufficient evidence for settling the protracted dispute over the ore-forming age of the Shilu iron deposits, and will be of great help for better understanding the evolutional history of geology and tectonics, as well as the further ore-prospecting of the Shilu-type iron-deposits both in the island and South China.
