Algae are internationally divided into sixteen phyla, but China adapted
the classification of only fourteen phyla during the national algae meetin
gheld in Qingdao in 1964. Coccoliths belong to Coccolithophyceae of Chrysophuyta.
They are a primary producer and a main osuce of abyssal carbonate and
hycrocarbon in marine oil-gas. This book consists of three parts includin
gnineteen chapters, 76 plates and 343 photos, about 500000 Chinese words.
Coccolith fossils of Middle Proterozoic ages to Permian ages are described
that include 186 new species, named or unnamed, of which 36 species were
published. The cocclith fossils recently discovered in a Middle Proterozoic
iron deposit was also included. Especially, the discovery of the Silurian
Discoaster category not only made its occurrence earlier, but also laid
a foundation of coccolith classification. Research on today's living phytoplanktons
indicates that coccolith amounts to about one third of them, Which can
fix at least 30 billion tons of carbon or 110 billion tons of caron dioxide.
It is of practicla importance for improving the earth's environment and
eliminate " the green house effect" which is brought about by
the excess carbon dioxide.
This book is divided into three parts:
Part I Geological outline of China coccolith fossils'
origin during Proterozoic and
Palaeozoic Eras
Part II Time-mark description of China coccolith fossils during
proterozoic and
Palaeozoic Eras
Part III Several quastions during coccolith fossils' discussion
and research
