PRELIMINARY NOTE ON PRESENCE OF EARLY CARBONIFEROUS FLORULE FROM JILIN

The purpose of the present paper is to recordthe discovery of Early Carboniferous plants of An-gara floral aspects from Jilin province,with spe-cial reference to its geological and phytogeographi-cal bearings.The material was gathered by thegeologists of the Regional Geological Survey,Bure-au of Geology and Mineral Gesources,Jilin fromthe Lower Carboniferous Lujuantun Formation inPanshi District,Jilin Province(about 43°14′N Lat.and 125°31′E Long.)(Text fig.l)during geologicalmapping.The Lujuantun Formation,a set of darkgray to black,slightly metamorphic siltstone seriessome 500 m in thickness,is overlain by the UpperCarboniferous Mopanshan Formation.Here pub-lished is the stratigraphical sequence of a sectionof the Lujuantun Formation in descending orderfor reference.Overlying Mopanshan Formation(C₂m)
