Abstract

Abundant Ordovician fossils are found from the reef-and beeche-beds in the Tarim Basin.This paper des-cribes the upper Ordovician stromatoporoids of Well 822 in the Tazhong area of the Tarim Basin.They include 9 species referred to 7 genera as Pachystylostroma,Cystistroma,Labechia,Rosenella,Argostroma,Ecclimadictyon and Clathrodictyon.All these stromatoporoids show as stratiform,crusty,crumb or spheral shapes in the rocks.They formed bound stone and frame stone,and are the main organisms of the reef.
