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... A basal antiarch (placoderm fish) from the Silurian of Qujing, Yunnan, China 　　An anterior median dorsal plateof Silurolepis platydorsalis. (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... Special issue of IGCP 491 has published The special issue – Middle Palaeozoic vertebrate biogeography: palaeogeography and climate (IGCP 491) has published recently. 　　The IGCP Project 491 (Middle Palaeozoic vertebrate biogeography: palaeogeography and climate) is under the UNESCO International Geoscience Program, running from 2003 to 2007 with the co-... Carbon Isotope Shifts Defining the Silurian-Devonian Boundary in West Qinling of China 　　Fig.1: Stratigraphic succession, carbonate and total organic carbon as well as stable isotopic ratio of organic carbon versus depth in the Yanglugou Section, West Qinling of China.
