The first part of this book consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 briefly describes the international Silurian (444-419 million years ago) chronostratigraphic division and research status. Chapter 2 gives an overview of the Silurian stratigraphic division in China. Chapters 3 to 6 respectively introduce the Silurian development and their respective representative profiles (or comprehensive profiles) of South China, Tarim, China-Thailand-Myanmar-Ma and Xing'an blocks. Dam, Chongqing Xiushan Rongwu, Tiansheng Qujing, Guizhou Shiqian Leijiatun, Guizhou Tongzi Daijiagou, Sichuan Guangyuan Xuanhe, Jiangxi Wuning-Xushui and other profiles (or comprehensive profiles) Tarim, China, Thailand, Myanmar and Xing'an respectively. The Keping Tiereke Awati in Xinjiang, Laojianshan in Baoshan in Yunnan and Heihe in Heilongjiang are selected as their respective reference standards.
The second part is the atlas of landmark fossils. This part actually belongs to the category of biostratigraphy, which is a separate chapter in view of its importance in stratigraphic research and field practice. Taking into account the differences in the research degrees of various Silurian fossil phyla in China, this part only involves 11 fossil phyla with relatively fine biostratigraphic research, namely graptolites; conodonts; insects; brachiopods; trilobites; nautilus; bryozoans; ancient plants and sporopollen;
Summary in Chinese:
第一部分由第1~6章组成。第1章简述了国际志留纪年代地层划分及研究现状。第2章对中国志留纪地层区划进行概述。第3~6章分别介绍了华南、塔里木、中泰缅马及兴安等4个块体的志留系发育情况及其各自的代表性剖面(或综合剖面),其中华南板块包括湖北宜昌大中坝、重庆秀山溶溺、天声曲靖、贵州石阡雷家屯、贵州桐梓代家沟、四川广元宣河、江西武宁-修水等剖面(或综合剖面)塔里木、中泰缅马及兴安分别选取了新疆柯坪铁热克阿瓦提、云南保山老尖山和黑龙江黑河等剖而(或综合剖面)作为各自的参照标准。第二部分即标志化石图集。该部分实际上属于生物地层学的范畴,鉴于其在地层学研究及野外实践中的重要性而单独成章。考虑到我国志留纪各化石门类研究程度上的差别,该部分仅涉及生物地层学研究较精细的11个化石门类,它们(及其撰写者)分别是:笔石;牙形类;几丁虫;腕足类;三叶虫;皱纹珊瑞;鹦鹉螺类;苔藓虫;古植物与孢粉;疑源类;遗迹化石。
