Abstract:

Twenty two genera containing thirty eight species and nine problematic taxa of fossil plants are described from the Lower Shihhotse Formation of the Lower Permian of Dongshan, Taiyuan, North China. They include three new genera, seven new species and two new combinations. Five genera and six species are rediagnosed. The plants described include sphenophylls, discinites, marattialeans, pecopterids, alethopterids, emplecopterids, sphenopterids, tingias, cycads, cordaites and possible conifers. Discinites dentilongii sp. nov. (Noeggerathiales) is described having disc-like sporophylls with a decurrent base. The marattialean fern Taiyuanitheca tetralinea gen. et sp. nov. has four rows of circular synangia on its pinnules. The evolution of the Marattiales is discussed. Tingia Halle and Tingiostachya Konno are rediagnosed with new morphological interpretations. Shuangnangostachya gracilis gen. et sp. nov. has spirally arranged sporophylls, each with two sporangia. This taxon is assigned to a new family. Much additional information on cycads has been gained from these assemblages,: Four species of the earliest known cycad megasporophylls are described and their taxonomy clarified. Based on the attachment of the megasporophylls of Crossozamia minor sp. nov. to an axis, new evolutionary pathways of the female cycad reproductive organs are proposed.. The later appearance of similar megasporophylls in Europe suggests that migration was from northern China westwards by dispersal of seeds in ocean currents. The associated leaf Yuania Sze and two of its species are rediagnosed". Tianbaolinia circinalis gen. et sp. nov. is considered to be an immature stage in cycad leaf development. On the evidence of the plants studied here, the climate during the early Permian in the Taiyuan area is suggested to have been warm and the humidity to have varied with local topography. The unique plants of this area reconfirm the independent nature of the Cathaysian flora.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the results of two long-term fertilization experiments on soil organic C, total N, and mineralizable N in the Jiangsu Province of People's Republic of China. The soil samples that received manure over the years contained more soil organic C, and total N than the inorganic fertilized samples. Soil organic C was closely correlated with total N and there were correlations between crop yields and soil organic C contents and between crop yields and soil total N contents. Plant-available N was estimated using biological and chemical tests. Mineralized N formed under anaerobic incubation was low except for those soil samples that received manure. Microbial biomass C and N were estimated using the chloroform fumigation-incubation method (CFIM) and fumigation-extraction procedures. Biomass measurements by CFIM were more precise and reliable than values obtained by fumigation-extraction. Treatment differences in biomass were not significant. Estimates of biomass C and N were influenced by the choice of the control soil and the period of incubation used by the CFIM. Unfumigated (10-20 d) control soils were found to be the best control for samples. Extraction of mineralized N using O.5M NaHCO$ sb3$ after incubation overestimated biomass N since this extraction was found to extract non-biomass N.

Li, Jinliang. "Governance in rural China : an ethnographic case study in two suburban villages in Guangdong Province, China." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/42695/.

Full text

Abstract:

This PhD research focuses on rural governance in the context of Mainland China. It focuses on three aspects of the changing rural governance: 1) internalization of the state-sponsored reforms for rural democratization, 2) external intervention and mediation of the human agents for policy implementation, and 3) dispute settlement. Drawing upon the three above-mentioned aspects, this study aims to dissect the interactive processes of China’s rural governance over the ongoing urbanisation of small-to-medium-sized cities. The fieldwork utilizes iterative-inductive ethnography as the research methodology. It additionally adopts the theoretical framework of social constructionism and actor-oriented perspectives to interpret the changing rural governance and employs interface analysis to examine the ethnographic data. It finds that the outcome of rural governance in the selected villages is greatly influenced by the interaction of the human agents’ capabilities and the (emerging) structural forces. In particular, various actors not only construct the emerging power structure but make use of their own knowledge, power relations, discursive practices, and innovate strategies to accommodate, negotiate and compromise with the external forces to solve problems emerging out of rural governance. Simultaneously, structural factors limit the scope of the actors’ choices, and the opportunities for strategies concerning rural governance. In terms of the representativeness of the selected samples, it firstly could reflect on the possible trajectories of rural governance over the next decade for the urbanisation of small-to-medium-sized cities, which is promoted by both the central and local governments. Secondly, the selected samples represent the changing rural governance in villages that feature Hakka culture and history. Further research should be taken on villages consisting of different cultural contexts and political-economic conditions in order to expand on this research as the representativeness of the samples is limited to the specific contexts under study.

Abstract:

This research presents a study of teacher professionalism in the context of China's recent educational decentralization reforms. Decentralization reforms in education are a combination of the imposition of state control and market principles. These influences have the potential to impact on schools' developmental plans and teachers' professional development in a number of ways. This study investigated the impact of these reforms on the areas of school autonomy and teachers' professional development in Guangdong Province. Two key research questions were ( 1) whether decentralization policy enhanced teacher professionalism or not, and (2) whether there were any different reactions between government and private school teachers to the reform. A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured and informal interviews with 81 participants in seven schools, mainly school principals, head teachers and teachers. School documents and official documents were included in the data collection and analysis. Decentralized educational systems in China and the West were compared in the literature review and China's unique cultural characteristics were taken into account in framing the research topic. The analysis is presented in two parts. The first part is on a 'macro' unit of analysis to reveal changes that have occurred in schools, namely an expansion of school autonomy and a shift in legitimate authority to different educational participants. The second part of the analysis uses a 'micro' unit of analysis to explore how teachers perceive their current status and to assess any changes in their daily practice. Aspects examined include teachers' professional identity, professional concerns, professional practices and professional growth within the reform context. AJthough state control is still strong, current decentralization reforms in China's educational system have impacted on teacher professionalism in indirect and varied ways. This study revealed that teachers' professionalism in China is moving towards 'latent professionalism' which is particularly manifest in the private school system as market principles become increasingly important to the formation of teachers' daily practices. However, teachers perceive that ongoing learning can remedy the problem of teachers' deskilling within the reform context, from how they see themselves now ('silent workers' and 'factory workers') to 'transformative intellectuals', working towards professional growth.

Abstract:

This thesis falls naturally into two parts . The first part is concerned with the level and trend of fertility in Huaibei Plain, Anhui province , China since 1950 and the second with the examination of some determinants of fertility decline . It makes use of data from the 1/1000 Survey of China which was conducted by the Family Planning Commission in 1982. The data used in this thesis are for one area in Anhui province , China , namely Huaibei Plain. In the first part , fertility transition in Huaibei Plain is examined . It is found that the greatest decline in marital fertility occurred among women aged 35+ under the influence of the family planning program. In the second part , some determinants of fertility decline are examined. Fertility decline among younger women (under age 30) is largely due to later age at marriage . Consequently , the nuptiality pattern of Huaibei Plain has changed from an early and universal marriage to a later and universal marriage pattern. Examination of current use of contraception suggests that the family planning program, in particular , the one - child policy (1979) , has been the major determinant in fertility decline. Fertility decline among older women (35+) is primarily due to contraceptive practice . The influence of the one-child policy is so strong that it has almost eliminated the differentials in contraceptive use by education and occupation under certain circumstances ; for example , for women who are under age 45 and have more than two children.

Abstract:

China's economy has grown remarkably since the adoption of market reforms which have allowed a shift from the centrally planned, closed industries following communist ideologies towards a market-led, entrepreneurial and competitive industrial environment. Despite the economic progress, development in political and cultural spheres has not followed at the same speed: corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been decreasing, which is damaging China's image as a good global citizen, and this may be undermining Chinese firms' eligibility to participate in the mainstream of the world's business networks.

Zhang, Lisha. "ASSESSING THE DEMAND FOR WEATHER INDEX INSURANCE IN SHANDONG PROVINCE, CHINA." UKnowledge, 2008. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/gradschool_theses/559.

Full text

Abstract:

Shandong Province, renowned as China’s greatest agricultural province, is dominated by smallholders growing rain-fed crops and vulnerable to severe weather shocks that can increase poverty rates. Weather index insurance, an innovative agricultural risk management product, may be an effective mechanism to address vulnerability to catastrophic weather risk in rural regions of China, including Shandong. This project evaluated current household livelihood and risk management strategies and farmer interest in weather index insurance. Data from 174 participants were collected using a methodology that included focus groups, questionnaires, and personal interviews. Despite limited access to formal financial services, Shandong farmers generally employ informal, well-diversified income strategies and rely on no-interest informal loans from community members to manage adverse impacts of natural disasters, such as drought. Households sometimes rely on reducing consumption as a risk coping strategy; however, unlike many regions of the world, Shandong farmers do not tend to sell livelihood assets to manage weather shocks. A majority of interviewed participants were interested in weather index insurance after they understood its basic concept; however, participants expressed concerns regarding basis risk and program implementation.

This thesis specifies, simulates and examines a number of electricity service expansion scenarios for Shandong Province, China. In this exercise it communicates how a selected assortment of generation and end-use efficiency strategies will perform over alternative 25-year futures with respect to cost and emissions goals identified by the provincial utility and project's primary client, Shandong Electric Power Group Corporation (SEPCO). For context it chronicles the expansion of electricity service in Shandong during China's post-Mao era of market reforms, and juxtaposes China's imperative for continued economic growth with Shandong's struggle to address the severe health and environmental impacts of its historical reliance on coal combustion for electricity generation. Using SEPCO's existing practices and articulated strategy as two reference cases, it then investigates the firm's options for modifying planning practices in light of four likely phenomena that will influence its operating environment over the course of the study period. To represent the hypothesized influence of these factors on SEPCO, it specifies and generates a set of scenarios crafted to model the particular impacts on the utility of China's 1) pending accession to the World Trade Organization, 2) ongoing financial market reforms, 3) introduction of electric sector restructuring and 4) implementation of stricter pollutant emissions enforcement. It finds SEPCO should be able to maintain or slightly reduce long-term unit costs over a growing rate base by virtue of efficiency gains derived from replacing its generating stock. However, aggressive end-use efficiency, risk management and organizational change at the firm level, as well as continued institutional and policy reform at the national level will be essential if these events are to have a positive impact on Shandong's and China's endemic environmental issues.

This thesis involves locating and interpreting earthquakes from the Sichuan Province, China. The main contributions of this research are: successfully fitting the travel time data of three explosions to a two-layer crust model; and the improvement in locating earthquakes. To achieve these objectives, the Gauss-Newton method is applied iteratively to find the nonlinear least squares solution. The Monte Carlo method and the Gauss- Newton method were jointly used to locate events and simultaneously optimize the crust model. The iterative station correction method is adopted to compensate the incorrectness of the velocity model and to improve the event locations. The joint master event method can improve the location of the events near the master event. The modified Hypoinverse not only can locate events based on the spherical crust model, but can also jointly improve the crust model used. A three-dimensional crust model is next to be optimized and to improve event locations further. We also present geological interpretation about earthquake locations in Sichuan and their tectonic implications.

Abstract:

Avec la participation accrue des économies émergentes dans l’économie mondiale, les Born Globals de ces pays deviennent des acteurs significatifs. L’objectif de notre recherche est d’étudier le processus d’internationalisation des Born Globals chinoises, ainsi que d’explorer les facteurs clés expliquant ce processus d’internationalisation précoce et rapide. Pour répondre à notre questionnement, une double méthodologie a été employée : une approche quantitative par une étude exploratoire suivie d’une approche qualitative par une étude de cas multiples. Nous avons choisi la province du Zhejiang comme terrain de recherche, car la plupart des PME de cette région s’orientent dès leur création vers l’international. A partir d’une analyse des littératures relatives à l’internationalisation des PME et des Born Globals, nous avons identifié sept facteurs principaux dans le processus d’internationalisation des Born Globals et nous les avons examinés dans le contexte chinois par une étude exploratoire. Suite à cette étude qui nous a permis d’identifier les dirigeants et les réseaux comme facteurs clés expliquant l’internationalisation rapide des Born Globals chinoises, nous avons réalisé une analyse inter-cas auprès de sept Born Globals chinoises. Cette étude nous a permis de comprendre l’action de ces deux facteurs clés dans l’internationalisation rapide des Born Globals ainsi que leur impact sur ce processus

We choose the Zhejiang province as our research field because most SMEs in this region start to internationalize soon after their creation.From a literature review of the internationalization of SMEs and Born Globals, we have identified seven key factors in the internationalization process of Born Globals and we have examined them in the Chinese context through an exploratory study. Following this exploratory study, which allowed us to identify the leaders and the networks as two key factors explaining the rapid internationalization of Chinese Born Globals, we conducted a cross-case analysis within seven Chinese Born Globals. This study allowed us to understand the functions of these two key factors in the rapid internationalization of Born Globals as well as their impact on this process

Abstract:

This study analyzes the fertility change in Shaanxi Province, China and estimates the impact of family planning programs on fertility decline during the 1972-1984. Data used come from the 1985 Regional In-Depth Fertility Survey, supplemented by service statistics of family planning. Fertility change in Shaanxi is analyzed in terms of children ever born to married women, parity progression ratio, age— specific fertility rates, age— specific marital fertility rates and total fertility rates, as well as cohort-period fertility rates. The results confirm a substantial fertility decline in the study areas, particularly among women aged 30 and over and during the 9 years prior to the 1985 survey. This study reveals very high levels of knowledge (5.2 methods per women) and use (currently 69 percent) of contraceptives, suggesting that contraceptive practice plays a key role in reducing fertility among married women in Shaanxi. Of all methods used, 92.6 percent are provided by family planning programs, mainly the more efficient methods, the IUD and sterilization. The study also finds that under strong family planning programs, contraceptive use among married women is irrespective of educational level, Three evaluative methods have been employed to assess the program impact on fertility decline: standardization approach, component projection approach II, and the prevalence model. It is estimated that, of all births averted during the period 1972-1984, three-quarters had been averted by women aged 25 — 39 at the time of the survey, and about 80 percent had been averted by using the IUD and sterilization.

Abstract:

Drawing upon court files in the Liaoning Provincial Archives, this dissertation addresses the question of the transformation of the civil justice system in Fengtian Province in the early twentieth century. Fengtian Province was among the few provinces where judicial-legal reforms were first launched during the late Qing's New Policies period. In the early Republic, judicial-legal reforms were continuously pursued under the governance of the warlord Zhang Zuolin. The accommodation of judicial-legal modernity within warlord politics was a result of the simultaneous presence of local elite activism, nationalism and the dominance of republican ideology.
To demonstrate judicial-legal modernity in this frontier province, this dissertation covers four main areas: the bureaucratization of the court system and mediation mechanism; the formalization of civil procedures; the "discovery" and modernization of custom in judicial process; and the narrowing of the power disparity in gender in divorce law and practice.
The bureaucratization of the court system reveals not only the tendency of separating judicial power from executive power, but also the professionalization of judicial officials, including lower-level judicial personnel. The bureaucratization of mediation locates the point at wards under the ward-village system implemented in the 1920s by the Fengtian provincial authority. The ward head, as a salaried sub-village government official was able to exercise his power to mediate civil disputes. This point epitomizes the early effort made by the modern state to interfere in the arena of popular justice. The formalization of civil procedures reflects the transformation of court practice from a simple, customary way of finding facts and applying laws to a practice guided by a complex, codified procedural law based on a Germanic-Japanese model. In speaking of the "discovery" and modernization of custom, I address not only the phenomena of "discovering" local customs and recognizing them as a source of authority for adjudicating cases by judges who had modern legal training, but also of the elaborate, selective screening policy towards custom, ushered in by the Supreme Court due to their concern with public policy and social morals. Narrowing the power disparity in gender is examined in the light of changes to divorce law and practice. By following the precedents laid down by the Supreme Court, the lower courts attempted to readdress the unbalanced power relationship between men and women inherited from Qing law.

Abstract:

Pymetrozine has replaced the toxic organophosphate pesticides that were previously used for rice crops in China. Owing to its recent introduction, there are limited studies on the residuals and dynamics of Pymetrozine in the environment. The existing data usually pertain to application studies on artificially constructed plots. Such studies do not adequately address the behaviour of natural dynamics and residuals of Pymetrozine in actual field conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out studies under field conditions to investigate the natural dynamics and residuals of Pymetrozine in typical rice-growing areas in China. In addition, residents living close to agricultural lands might be exposed to pesticides through environmental pathways including spray drift and volatilisation of pesticides beyond the treated area. Most studies about the metabolism, environmental distribution, fate and exposure of Pymetrozine have been carried out in laboratory conditions. However, these experiments cannot represent the natural dynamics and residuals and its exposure and human health risk in the field situation. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically assess Pymetrozine exposures and potential health risks through the environmental routes for residents living close to agricultural lands in field situations. This study was carried out in two rice growing areas in China: Guangxi Province and Hunan Province. Surface soil and paddy water samples were collected in each area on the day prior to spraying and up to the 28th day after pesticide application in June 2019. A modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) method was used to extract the target analyte. Parameters including linearity, linear range, LOQs, accuracy, precision and stability were considered to evaluate the method validation. Calibration curve analysis and kinetic evaluation methods were used to discuss the dynamics and residual levels of Pymetrozine. In addition, data on the registration of pesticides in China were used, along with government reports, and questionnaire interview as well as toxicological health investigations were carried out to determine the potential hazard identification of Pymetrozine as the major hazard to community health. US EPA exposure assessment and human health risk assessment methods were conducted using the soil and paddy water samples which were collected between 10 to 20 metres around the residents’ apartments. These included the calculation of Hazard Quotient (HQ) and cancer risk values to assess health risks. The results of the recovery range for both the soil and water samples were between 70 % and 120 %, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was lower than the 20 % in this study, being within the accepted level for residue determination method. Thus, this result shows satisfactory performance of the method. The initial deposit of Pymetrozine in soils was higher than in paddy water in both areas. The decay of Pymetrozine followed an exponential trend. The half-life of Pymetrozine in paddy water was determined to be 3.08 and 3.85 days in the Guangxi and Hunan samples, whereas in soil it was 3.49 and 3.73 days, respectively. The degradation of Pymetrozine in soil and paddy water in this field study was faster than reported in previous studies conducted under non-field conditions. The typical loamy soil and red soil type of the rice-growing areas in China, make residues of Pymetrozine very susceptible to chemical and biological degradation, probably corresponding to the variety of microorganisms in that soil type. In addition, the partitioning behaviour of Pymetrozine between soil/sediment and water conforms to previous results and can be used in modelling studies. The minimum, average, 95th percentile and maximum of the potential cancer risk from dermal contact with soil and water for adults and children; the minimum, average, 95th percentile and maximum of the potential cancer risk from ingestion of soil for adults and children; and the potential total cancer risk from soil and paddy water exposure through the dermal and ingestion pathways were less than 1×10-6, which is within the acceptable levels. The potential non-cancer risk levels obtained for the minimum, average, 95th percentile and maximum of the acute dose and lifetime dose of Pymetrozine through dermal exposure to soils and paddy water; and ingestion exposure to soil for adults and children of the two study locations were below unity. Thus, the potential risks were relatively low. There are no significant potential health effects of Pymetrozine exposure from environmental routes to agriculture communities in both typical rice-growing areas Hunan and Guangxi, of China.

Abstract:

The Cenozoic Ailaoshan Red River shear zone marks the present day western margin of the South China Block. Along this margin are well preserved late Paleoproterozoic to early Neoproterozoic sedimentary and volcanic successions. This work examines the ages and tectonic environments for the formation of the successions, as well as significance of the regional tectono-magmatic events on the formation of widespread iron oxide-copper deposits. The oldest succession is the Paleoproterozoic Dahongshan Group. A new SHRIMP UPb age of 1675 ± 8 Ma for a tuffaceous schist unit confirms its Paleoproterozoic age. Detrital zircon ages of the Dahongshan Group range between Archean to Paleoproterozoic (ca. 2780 1860 Ma). They include a population of ca. 2400 2100 Ma grains, which have no known source region on the exposed Yangtze Block. Previous geochemical studies of metavolcanic rocks from the Dahongshan Group have suggested that these rocks were erupted in an oceanic setting. However, this study shows that the metavolcanics are extremely altered and cannot be used for reliable tectonic discrimination. Based on the characteristics of sedimentary rocks in the Dahongshan Group, it is suggested that these rocks were deposited in a continental setting. Overlying the Dahongshan Group is a thick sedimentary sequence which has been variably termed the Kunyang, Dongchuan, Huili or Xide Groups. In the past, these rocks have been considered as a Mesoproterozoic rift succession. However, no precise age constraints were available for the succession. In this study, this sequence is found to contain at least two separate tectonostratigraphic units. The oldest (ca.1140 Ma) is comprised of alkaline basalt with a geochemical and isotopic character similar to that of modern intracontinental rift basalts. The presence of Cathaysia-derived sediments in this unit indicates sedimentary transportation from the southerly Cathaysia Block to the northerly Yangtze Block (in present coordinates) in South China at that time, which suggests an impactogen scenario. The thick sedimentary sequence of what has traditionally been defined as the Kunyang Group has been found to have significantly younger depositional age of ca.1000 960 Ma. The composition of sedimentary rocks and the provenance of detrital zircons from the Kunyang Group are consistent with a foreland basin setting. The depositional age of this sequence coincides with the timing of Sibao Orogeny as determined elsewhere in the South China Block. Summary Page ii Numerous iron oxide - copper (gold) deposits occur within the rocks of the Dahongshan and Kunyang Groups. Previous studies have classified these deposits into two deposit styles: the Dahongshan-type Paleoproterozoic VMS mineralisation hosted within the Dahongshan Group, and the Dongchuan-type diagenetic carbonate and shale-hosted deposits hosted within the Kunyang Group. However, both deposit types share similarities with the iron oxide copper (gold) deposit class, such as stratabound disseminated and massive copper ores, abundance of iron oxide occurring mostly as low Ti - magnetite and haematite, and variable enrichments in Au, Ag, Co, F, Mo, P and REE. 40Ar/39Ar data from both deposit types indicate mineralisation ages of ca. 850 830 Ma and 780 740 Ma.

We investigate the benefits of applying three-dimensional velocity models to seismic event location. We develop a technique for three-dimensional seismic event location, utilizing a finite difference method for travel time calculation and a grid search method for location. We apply this technique to the location of three events in Sichuan Province, China, an area of complex deformation and scattered seismicity. The lateral differences between published event locations and those obtained using this three dimensional technique are between 6.2 and 12.8 km, suggesting that the relocation of a larger number of events may refine our understanding of deformation in this region. The locations using the three-dimensional velocity model compare favorably with locations using a one-dimensional model, returning location depths consistent with the geology of the area and showing smaller location variability when using a jackknifing technique.

(cont.) Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault system during growth of the southeast plateau margin. Cosmogenic ²⁶A1 and ¹⁰Be basin-wide erosion rate and burial ages indicate a background incision rate of [approximately] 0.05 to 0.10 mm/a, lower than the long-term incision rate minimum of [approximately] 0.26 mm/a. Cosmogenically-determined incision rate approximately doubles to [approximately] 0.20 mm/a in the region of maximum dip-slip displacement on the Red River fault. This thesis also develops a new cosmogenic tool for quantitative landscape analysis: using depth dependence data for multiple cosmogenic nuclides from a single site to constrain an erosion history. This method is applied in the Dry Valleys region of Antarctica.
This thesis outlines the Cenozoic development of the Red River region, exploring regional landscape evolution and tectonic accommodation of the India-Eurasia collision, focusing on the Oligo-Miocene, left-lateral Ailao Shan shear zone and the active, right-lateral Red River fault on the northeast margin of the shear zone, along which the Red River has incised a deep valley. Oligo-Miocene fluvial and alluvial conglomerates in the valley record shear zone unroofing: pervasive, syn-depositional shortening indicates transpressional exhumation. A low-relief landscape, developed in Late Miocene time, was probably uplifted in Pliocene time, triggering the incision of the Red River and isolating the low-relief landscape from modem base level. On the basis of stratigraphic data, river incision began in Pliocene time or later. Tributary longitudinal profiles indicate two-phase incision, the result of pulsed plateau growth or trunk channel adjustments to changing climate conditions. Paleo-Red River reconstruction indicates [approximately] 1400 m river incision, 1400-1500 m surface uplift and 750 m vertical displacement across the northern part of the Red River fault. Minimum right-lateral displacement on the fault is 40 km, 15-16 km of which predates river incision, plateau growth and development of other regional fault systems. Long term average slip-rate is a minimum of [approximately] 5 mm/yr. Rotation of a crustal fragment around the eastern Himalayan syntaxis, bounded on the east by the Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault system, causes deflection of the Red River fault, accommodated by distributed shear along strike of the Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang fault system. The Red River fault has decreased in regional importance since the initiation of the

Abstract:

Fossils recovered from limestones of the lower Cambrian (Stage 2-3) Yanjiahe Formation in Hubei Province, South China, recovered using acetic acid maceration, fracturing, and thin sectioning techniques were examined using a combination of analytical techniques, including energy dispersive spectroscopic (EDS) elemental mapping and micro-focus X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT). One important fossil recovered and analyzed with these techniques is a fossilized embryo. Fossilized animal embryos from lower Cambrian rocks provide a rare opportunity to study the ontogeny and developmental biology of early animals during the Cambrian explosion. The fossil embryos in this study exhibit a phosphatized outer envelope (interpreted as the chorion) that encloses a multicelled blastula-like embryo or a calcitized embryo marked by sets of grooves on its surface. The arrangement of these grooves resembles annulations found on the surface of the Cambrian-Ordovician fossil embryo Markuelia. Previously described late-stage Markuelia embryos exhibit annulations and an introvert ornamented by scalids, suggesting a scalidophoran affinity. In the Yanjiahe fossils illustrated herein, however, the phosphatized chorions and blastulas are not taxonomically or phylogenetically diagnostic, and the late-stage embryo is secondarily calcitized and thus poorly preserved, with only vague grooves indicative of Markuelia-type annulations. Consequently, their taxonomic assignment to the genus Markuelia is uncertain. If they indeed belong to the genus Markuelia, they are the oldest known Markuelia fossils from China, and represent both a new occurrence and possibly a new species.
