摘要:

对贵州省东部坝黄剖面留茶坡组硅质岩中的微体化石进行研究。通过薄片观察, 发现多种球形化石, 包括一类具连接体的球形化石以及两种具深色外壁的球形化石。对具连接体的球形化石进行系统的描述, 并建立新属Bahuangia gen. nov.。Bahuangia的连接体呈葫芦状或链状, 形态可与出芽生殖的单细胞真菌或细菌进行类比。所报道的3类球形化石在扬子板块埃迪卡拉纪晚期的深水相地层中广泛分布, 此次发现加深了对埃迪卡拉纪晚期深水区生物面貌的认识, 可为区域地层对比以及地球早期生命演化的研究提供新的材料。

Abstract:

Microfossils from cherts of the Liuchapo Formation at Bahuang section in eastern Guizhou Province were studied. Through thin section observation, a large number of spherical fossils were revealed, including one type with connected spheroids, and two types with dark outer wall. The former is systematically described, and a new genus Bahuangia gen. nov. is established. The connected bodies of Bahuangia are calabash- or chain-shaped, and resemble the budding unicellular fungi or bacteria in morphology. Spherical fossils similar to these Bahuang specimens are widely distributed in the late Ediacaran deep-water facies of the Yangtze Plate. Through this study, the understanding of deep-water life forms during the ECT is improved, and new materials for both regional stratigraphic correlation and early life evolution are provided.
