南雄盆地位于广东省北部的浈水流域,为一狭长的纺缍形,呈北东一南西向分布。盆地内沉积着巨厚的中新生代陆相“红色地层”。地层出露完好,化石保存丰富,是研究“红层”的理想地区之一。先后有很多地质部门和科研单位来此做过工作,发掘了很多化石,对地层的划分和对比进行了较详细的研究(见表1)。 Nanxiong Basin is located in the Huangshui River Basin in the northern part of Guangdong Province. It is a long, narrow, spunbond with a northeast-south-west distribution. The basin is deposited with a huge Mesozoic and Cenozoic terrain “red stratum ”. Stratum intact, fossil preservation is rich, is the study of “red layer” one of the ideal areas. There have been many geological departments and research institutes to do this work, discover a lot of fossils, stratigraphic division and contrast conducted a more detailed study (see Table 1).
