石炭系在我国分布广泛,不同相的沉积均有良好发育,且富含生物群。石炭系不仅是重要的含煤地层,同时也是铝、铁等矿产的含矿层,因此,对石炭系的研究至为重要。 早在1882年,就已有文字记载。自1924年起及其以后的十年内,是我国开展石炭系研究的时期,这一时期的工作为我国石炭系的分类奠定了基础。解放以后,地层资料有 Carboniferous is widely distributed in our country, and the sediments of different facies have good development and are rich in biota. Carboniferous is not only an important coal-bearing formation but also an ore-bearing layer of minerals such as aluminum and iron. Therefore, the study of Carboniferous is of utmost importance. As early as 1882, there is already written records. Since 1924 and the following ten years, it is a period for our country to carry out the study of Carboniferous. The work in this period lays the foundation for the classification of China’s Carboniferous. After the liberation, strata information is available
