摘要
During the mapping course of geological maps of the scale of 1∶200 000 some 20 years ago, a number of formations were erected. The shortcomings of the work at that time, which resulted in confusion in subdivision and correlation of the Middle-Late Permian sediments are: 1) the Hewanjie Formation in the northern part was assigned to the Middle Triassic based on some bivalves, while the Permian foraminifers in its lower part were not properly studied; 2) the Yongde Formation erected in the southern part included not only the red and variegated clastics in the lower part but also argillaceous limestones in the upper part; and 3) age indicated by fossils found in some beds were treated as the age of the whole formation.
