AbstractThe Yangtze Platform (Yangtze Palaeoplate) drifted into the area of southern China following late Silurian tectonism. In late Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic time the Yangtze Platform was subjected to strong extensional movements in its southeastern region within Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and Hunan provinces, and along its northwestern margin in the Songpan-Ganzi area. Taphrogenesis (intracontinental extension) began in Devonian times, climaxed with the late Permian eruption of the Emeishan basalts, and ended in mid Triassic times. Therefore, the senior author (LZL) has named this extension the ‘Emei Taphrogenesis’, a phenomenon that was constrained by the neighbouring tectonic units of the Yangtze Platform. The platform has been substantially affected by the early Palaeozoic south China fold zone along its eastern margin, and by the late Palaeozoic opening of the Tethys Ocean on the northwestern margin. This paper delineates the tectonic patterns associated with the Emei Taphrogenesis.

Previous studies of conodonts suggested that the upper member of the Xiushan Formation (late Llandovery) corresponds to the Pterospathodus eopennatus Superbiozone, but no data were obtained from the lower member in the Xiushan area. In this study, the entire Xiushan Formation was resampled from the Datianba section in the Xiushan area of Chongqing City on the Yangtze Platform in South China. In total, 40 samples were collected and processed. Fifteen of these samples contained identifiable conodont specimens. The present study indicates that the lower member and main part of the upper member of the Xiushan Formation correspond to the Pterospathodus eopennatus Superbiozone, while the top of the upper member probably correlates with the Pterospathodus celloni Superbiozone.
