Palaeobiogeography of Permian Fusulinid in Southern Qinghai

摘要: 冈瓦纳与欧亚大陆间的昌都地块构造属性存在争议,解决问题的关键是生物古地理区系判别.青海南部二叠纪类化 石群的研究表明昌都地块该生物群一直表现为暖水的特提斯型,与华南地区始终表现出更多的相似性,其生物古地理归属应 为特提斯大区华夏-特提斯区华南亚区.昌都地块南界龙木错-双湖-澜沧江缝合带在早二叠世为划分青藏高原暖水型特提 斯区的南界,不仅是华南亚区与藏北冷暖混合亚区的分界线,也是特提斯大区与冈瓦纳大区的分界线.中二叠世以后该带不再 构成大区界线,但在确定次一级分区界线上仍是一个很好的划分标志;北界金沙江缝合带二叠纪两侧生物群表现出一致性, 未形成浅海底栖生物自由迁移的障碍,不具有生物古地理分区意义.Abstract: The tectonic affiliation of Qamdo B1ock between the Gondwana and Eurasia remains controversia1, which involves mainly the determination of the northern boundary of Gondwana and the palaeobiogeography of Qamdo B1ock. Fusulinid fauna, a kind of benthiclife, is applied to the palaeobiogeography study in this paper. Based on abundant of fusulinid fossils from Early Permian Schwagerma cushman1 fauna to Late Permian Paiaeofusuiina slnensls fauna in volcano-sedimentary sequences from southern Qinghai, it is proposed these fusulinid faunas have always been the warm-water Tethyan type, showing more similari- ty with the counterpart from South China, and has not beenlinked to the fauna from the Gondwana. The fusulinids from the Qamdo B1ock should be1ong to the South China Subprovince, Cathaysian-Tethyan Province, Tethyan Realm in palaeobiogeo- graphic affiliation. The Lungmu Co-Shuanghu-Lantsangjiang Suture Zone in the Early Permian is proposed as the southern boundary of the Cathaysian-Tethyan Province(warm-water type) in the Tibetan Plateau(or the boundary of South China Sub- province and the northern Tibet Subprovince characterized by a mixed warm and cold biota). This suture zone is the division be- tweenTethyanand Gondwana Realms which was changed in the Middle and Late Permian and can not be regarded as the boundary of Realms, although a minor difference between the fusulinid faunas from two areas separated by the suture zone sti11 existed.Furthermore, the similarity of the faunas from both sides of Jinshajiang Suture Zone shows the zone is not the barrier zone which prevented the migration of benthic biota and can not be regarded as the boundary of palaeobiogeographic provinces.
