摘要
The Tsinghsutung Formation(Qiandongian Series,Cambrian)of Songshan Section near Balang village,Jianhe County,Guizhou Province is mainly composed of limestone and mudstone,interbeded with mudstone and limestone in the upper part,and medium-bedded dolomite for the uppermost section.The upper part of the Tsinghsutung Formation belonging to the Redlichia(R.)guizhouensis-Redlichia(R.)nobilis Acme Zone is rich in ptychopariids,trilonites,mollusks and other invertebrate fossils including a few soft-body fossils.So far only 1 species,Sphenothallus cf.taijiangensis Zhu et al.,2000 has been found in this zone.A few well-preserved fossil specimens are described here with obvious annulations on the wall tube,indicating the Sphenothallus had conical-tubular skeleton.Sphenothallusfrom the Tsinghsutung Formation not only enriches the assemblage of the Tsinghsutung Formation biota,but also provides new material for the research of Sphenothallus.The preliminary study shows that a evolutionary trend exists for the lengthening individuals,widening longtitudinal thickenings,and diminishing apertual expandings.The Sphenothallus have affinities with polypoid hydrozoans or scyphozoans.
