Abstract:

Macroscopic cone fossils, from the early Cambrian Shuijingtuo Formation of Shennongjia and Zigui areas, Hubei Province, were studied by using stereo light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. A new species of the genus Sphenothallus was identified by its longitudinal ridges located within the “V” shaped thickenings. The genus Ambrolinevitus of the class Hyolithida was firstly described from Shuijingtuo Formation. The result enriches the biodiversity of the Shuijingshuo Formation and adds new palaeontological data for the research of early life evolution. 

Key words: Cambrian, Shuijingtuo Formation, Cnidaria, Sphenothallus, Hyolithida

摘要:

利用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜, 对湖北神农架地区宋洛坪剖面和秭归地区滚石坳剖面寒武系第二统水井沱组的宏体锥管状化石开展详细的研究。识别出楔叶虫属Sphenothallus的一个新种, 以其“V”形加厚带表面的纵向纹饰为特征; 首次在水井沱组发现软舌螺纲 Hyolithida偶带线螺属Ambrolinevitus。研究结果丰富了水井沱组的生物多样性, 为探讨早期生命演化提供了新的化石材料。
