Early Cambrian Malong Fauna and GuanshanFauna from Eastern Yunnan China  Since the 1950s, five important metazoan faunas have been discovered and reported from southwestern part of China , including the Meshucun fauna, the Chengjiang fauna, the Malong fauna, the Guanshan fauna, and the Kaili fauna. Among them , the Meishucun fauna and the Chengjiang fauna of Yunnan Province and the Kaili fauna of Guizhou Province have been studied extensively in recent years, and the work on Malong fauna and Guanshan fauna of Yunnan Province are stll in preliminary research stage, which is he main focus of this project. The Malong fauna and Guanshan fauna occur stratigraphically in the Canglangpuan Stage filling the time gap(15 Ma)between the older Chengjiang fauna (Cambrian Series 2) and the younger Kaili fauna(Cambrian Series 3).
