The marine Permian of East and Northeast Asia: an overview of biostratigraphy, palaeobiogeography and palaeogeographical implications

High‐resolution Lopingian (Late Permian) timescale of South China

“…Marine Lopingian deposits are also widely distributed in the Russian Far East, the Verkhoyansk Folded Belt, the Kolyma-Omolon Block (see review of Shi, 2006). In the Russian Far East, the Lopingian Series is represented by the foraminifer Colaniella parva Zone and the Wuchiapingian Clarkina orientalis Zone and the overlying Clarkina cf.…”

Stable platform and dynamic oceanic palaeogeography

“…If one extends the warm/hot, tropical-subtropical climatic zones established on the stable platforms, following the Boucot et al (2013) compilation across the oceans, Panthalassa in particular, one can then conclude that the platform marginal Tethyan faunas of the Permian and Jurassic were derived from the Permian and Mesozoic tropical-subtropical belt and then transported northeasterly to collide and become part of western North America, or were transported northwesterly to become part of eastern Asia, or were transported southwesterly to become part of North Island, New Zealand. Shi (2006) Mizutani & Kojima (1992) summarized the relation of Japanese units to those as far North as the Khabarovsk area, with radiolarian descriptive material which implies that both areas include Tethyan radiolaria. Tilman et al (1982) provided an overview of the tectonic complexities of the Kamchatkan Koryak area.…”
