The location of the Palaeo-tethys suture in Tibet has been in great dispute for past two decades. The Longmucuo-Shuanghu suture has long been considered as the Palaeo-tethys in Tibet. Restudy of the Carboniferous and Permian sequences in the north and south of this suture reveal that: (1) the Carboniferous and Permian sequence of the North Qiangtang Block is characterized by containing compound corals and intact fusulinids zones from Moscovian Fusulinella, Fusulina to Changhsingian Palaeofusulina zones; (2) the Early Permian of the South Qiangtang Block is
