主　　题：Carboniferous Tournaisian-Visean boundary Global Stratotype Section and Point foraminifera conodont sedimentary facies China 

摘      要：With the definition and adoption of the Global Stratotype Section and Point （GSSP） for base of the Visean in China, the newly synthesized zonations and correlation of some significant fossil groups： foraminifera, conodont, coral and brachiopoda near the Tournaisian-Visean boundary beds are reviewed, which help in the recognition of the boundary in various sedimentary facies. The occurrence of two physical events, one pre- and one post- the Tournaisian-Visean boundary is emphasized, which allows for recognition of the position close to the Tournaisian-Visean boundary in the field. The regional correlation in southern China and international correlation throughout Eurasia around the Tournaisian-Visean boundary beds with the GSSP is proposed.
