ZHANG Ying-Qi and JIN Chang-Zhu, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently described a partial macaque skeleton (Mammalia, Primates) from Queque Cave, Jiangzhou District, Chongzuo City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (22°16′22″N, 107°30′22″E), as r... Human remains from China indicate modern human emerged much earlier than previously thought in East Asia 　　Fig. 1. The human remains from Zhiren Cave.

Redescription of Cobitis Longipectoralis Zhou from Late Early Miocene of East China  The family Cobitidae is a group of small, bottom dwelling, primary freshwater fishes . They are widely distributed in Eurasia and Morocco, with the greatest diversity in southern Asia. However, known fossil cobitids are scarce, and only include a few species of Cobitis and a species of Sabanejewia. Most of the mate... Study shows Paleolithic culture in Japan may originate from North China Comparative study on Paleolithic industries of Sozudai site in Japan and Xujiayao site in China by Professor LI Chaorong, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, shows that the Paleolithic culture in Japan may originate from North China, as reported in the 9th issue... Ceratopsid dinosaur first-ever found in China  Dr. XU Xing , Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his collaborators have identified a new ceratopsid dinosaur- Sinoceratops Zhuchengensis, from Upper Cretaceous deposits in Zhucheng, Shandong Province, China, as reported in the recent issue of Chinese Science... Rise of atmospheric O2 might trigger the early radiation of jawed vertebrates in Silurian 　　(The temperature curve and atmospheric O2 concentrations from Ordovician to Devonian, with stratigraphic ranges of main gnathostome taxa. Courtesy of Qu et al.) 　　Compared with other periods of the Palaeozoic, the Silurian is shorter and comprises less than one tenth of the era, but it is a critical period fo... A new antiarch fish from the Upper Devonian Zhongning Formation of Ningxia, China 　　(Restoration of Ningxialepis spinosa) 　　A new antiarch, Ningxialepis spinosan. gen. n. sp., is described from the Zhongning Formation (Famennian, Late Devonian) of Shixiagou, Qingtongxia, Ningxia, northwestern China. It is characterized by the presence of X-shaped pit-lines, long obstantic margins, high dorsa...

(Courtesy of Prof. Zhang et al.) 　　A new basal antiarch, Silurolepis platydorsalis n. gen. n. sp., represented by a large-sized trunk armor and a disassociated anterior median dorsal plate (AMD), is described from the Ludlow (Silurian) of Qujing, Y... Advances on Siluro-Devonian vertebrate biostratigraphy and biogeography of China 　　(The tectonic units and the distribution of mid-Paleozoic vertebrate localities in China. Courtesy of Dr. Zhao and Zhu) 　　China, with a continuous mid-Paleozoic sequence, is one of the most important areas for studying early vertebrates and related stratigraphy and biogeography. Since Mansuy reported Devonian... Advances on the Middle Palaeozoic vertebrates from Southeast Asia 　　(Distribution of Siluro-Devonian vertebrate fossil localities in Southeast Asia and western Yunnan. Courtesy of Wang et al.) 　　The Middle Palaeozoic vertebrate remains from Southeast Asia are distributed in the Shan-Thai (Sibumasu) and Indochina terranes as well as the South China block. 　　The Shan-Thai ter...   32 Page(s)   FirstPrev2627282930NextFinal
