Permian radiolarians from the Qinfang Terrane, South China, and its geological significance

Three sections of chert-clastics sequence in the Qinfang Terrane, Guangxi, South China were lithostratigraphically and biostratigraphically examined. Nine radiolarian zones of Early to Late Permian age were distinguished in the chert sequences. These radiolarian zones are correlated with those defined in the Permian chert sequences of Southwest Japan....
