Abstract

This paper presents the conodonts collected from Baiyungang formation in Queerqueke mountain,southern Kuruktag area in Xinjiang,consisting of 19 species and 3 undetermined ones,belonging to 14 genuses.They are classified into 6 conodont zones from bottom to top,such as Proconodontus posterocostatus zone,Proconodontus muelleri zone,Eoconodontus notchpeakensis zone,Cordylodus proavus zone,Cordylodus lindstromi zone and Cordylodus angulatus zone.Based on these conodont zones,the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary in this area is preliminarily determined.
