Glacio‐eustasy and δ¹³C across the Mississippian–Pennsylvanian boundary in the eastern Paleo‐Tethys Ocean (South China): Implications for mid‐Carboniferous major glaciation

A positive carbonate δ13C excursion (by ~1.5–3.0‰) has been reported across the Mississippian–Pennsylvanian boundary (MPB) from Euramerican epicontinental seas, implying a coeval atmospheric pCO2 decrease and Gondwanan glaciation at that time. This excursion was mainly observed in carbonate platforms which experienced repeated subaerial exposure. The South China Block was located in the middle of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean and the Panthalassic Ocean during the Carboniferous and contains well‐preserved carbonate slope strata across the MPB. Four lithofacies were defined in the studied Naqing, Narao, and Dianzishang sections, including thin‐bedded lime mudstones, laminated wackestones to packstones, normally‐graded packstones, and slumped limestones. Immediately above the MPB, a bed of normally‐graded packstones or slump masses occurs in the studied sections, which together with coeval subaerial‐exposure features in shallow‐water carbonate platform of South China, suggests a significant sea‐level fall across the MPB. Carbonate δ13C records show a consistent value of ~3.0‰ below the MPB in the Naqing and Narao sections, and both sections show an obvious rise in δ13C across the MPB (by ~0.5–1.0‰). The relatively small‐magnitude rise in δ13C would have resulted from well‐mixed seawater induced by intensified upwelling in the eastern Paleo‐Tethys Ocean during the glacial peak. Hence, the carbonate δ13C values recorded in the South China Block may represent a mean δ13C of the dissolved inorganic carbon in global ocean water at that time. Correlation between carbonate δ13C and previously published conodont δ18O and 87Sr/86Sr records suggests that the MPB glaciation was mainly driven by enhanced continental weathering, rather than increased organic carbon burial, although further quantitative simulation is required to better understand the interlinked processes during the Earth's penultimate icehouse.

The upper Pennsylvanian Naqing and Narao carbonate successions were deposited in intra-platform slope-to-basinal settings across the Kasimovian-Gzhelian boundary in Guizhou, South China. Conodont faunas consist of a mixture of the endemic taxa of the Idiognathodus luodianensis group and cosmopolitan species of the I. simulator group. The I. luodianensis group includes the new species I. fengtingensis, I. luodianensis, I. naqingensis and I. naraoensis. On platform landmark analysis the species of the I. luodianensis group differ in morphological features from co-occurring species of the I. simulator group. Both groups display similar increasing asymmetry in P 1 element pairs across the Kasimovian-Gzhelian boundary, as recognized on the basis of the first occurrence of I. simulator. Many Kasimovian Idiognathodus species disappear and several Gzhelian species first appear with I. simulator, including two new species of Streptognathodus: S. nemyrovskae and S. zhihaoi. Just below the base of the Gzhelian, carbonate d 13 C falls from 4& to 2& in both sections. The combination of an abrupt faunal turnover immediately above the prominent negative d 13 C excursion might represent an oceanic event in South China, perhaps recognizable on a global scale. One of these two South China sections may be the best location to place the GSSP for the base of the Gzhelian Stage.

Late Palaeozoic‐Mesozoic palaeontology and stratigraphy in China: A tribute to the achievements of Professor Zhuoting Liao

As one of the pioneer palaeontologists, Professor Zhuoting Liao has contributed his lifetime to promoting palaeontological and stratigraphical research in China for 60 years, and he passed away in the field excursion in South China on June 20, 2020. In his palaeontological career, Liao has worked on Late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic palaeontology and stratigraphy of almost all regions across China, and his interests have also extended to the Permian–Triassic (P‐Tr) boundary and mass extinction. He has worked on palaeontology, palaeobiogeography, biostratigraphy, tectonostratigraphy, and their implications in mineral and oil‐gas industries. Liao has established 22 new genera and 172 new species of brachiopods, and, together with his colleagues, proposed 11 new genera and 25 new species of echinoderms. He dedicated his lifetime to work on Late Palaeozoic palaeontology and stratigraphy of the previously remote and tectonically complex Xinjiang and adjacent regions, north‐west China, and established integrated stratigraphical frameworks for the Carboniferous to Permian strata, providing fundamental basis for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration in the poorly understood Central Asian terranes. In addition, he has mentored many young palaeontologists and stratigraphers in various ways. This volume assembles 30 papers addressing the Late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic palaeontology and stratigraphy of China and adjacent regions, which pays tribute to the achievement of Professor Zhuoting Liao.
