The fully developed marine Carboniferous and early Early
Permian rocks in Western Guizhou and Eastern Yunnan, SW. China are represented
by several hundred meters to more than 1,000 m of limestones and argillaceous
limestones, containing abundant faunas of rugose corals in association
with brachiopods, and others. The Carboniferous and early Early Permian
rugose corals here described and illustrated were collected by the authors
and their colleagues of Nanjing Instate of Geology and Paleontology, Academia
Sinica from Weining, Shuicheng, Panxian and Pu'an Counties of Guizhou
Province and ZhanYi County of Yunnan Province in 1963, 1973 and 1981.
They have been assigned to 215 species (including 105 new species and
13 new subspecies) in 95 genera (including 8 new genera and 1 new subgenus)
and 24 families, providing the knowledge of their faunal succession, evolutional
stages and biological community of the Carboniferous and early Early Permian
in the concerned areas.
