Abstract

This paper systematically describes the stromatoporoids from the Ordovician reefs in the southern edge of the Ordos Basin,N.China,including 2 orders,5 genera and 9 species.They are Cystistroma,Labechia,Forolinia,Clathrodictyon,Ecclimadictyon.This study builds two new species: Labechia chunhuaensis sp.nov.,Labechia tiewadianensis sp.nov.Cystistroma,Labechia,Forolinia and Clathrodictyon occur in the breccia of the reef-front facies of the Upper Ordovician reef at Tiewadian,Chunhua County,Shanxi Province,while Ecclimadictyon is the only reef builder in the Upper Ordovician reef at Lannigou,Qishan County,Shanxi Province.
