内容提要

  

    This book consists of two volumes with nine geochronologicaldivisions from the Cambrian to Cretaceous. It provides acomprehensive revision and taxonomic update of all genera that arebased on their type species from China established before 2016.Altogether， there are 757 genera in 15 orders and nearly 200families， of which 452 are treated as valid and 18 are excludedfrom brachiopods. Diagnoses， comparisons， assigned species， andtemporal and spatial distributions of almost all genera are thoroughlyreviewed， and faunal successions and palaeobiogeography of eachgeologic period are presented. Almost all the relevant type specimensare illustrated in 125 plates. This book provides the most completeand consistent dataset of all brachiopod genera based on the Chinesematerials. It will be of interest to palaeontologists， geologists andbiologists who wish to learn the Chinese brachiopods and theirbearings on biostratigraphy， biogeography and other related areas.
    本书为《Phanerozoic Brachiopod Genera of China（共2册）（精）》，由Rong Jiayu主编。
