Conodonts from the Early Triassic microbialite of Guangxi (South China): implications for the definition of the base of the Triassic System

We describe a new E arly T riassic ( G riesbachian) succession of conodont faunas from a high‐resolution sampling of the basal E arly T riassic microbial limestone and the base of the overlying unit at the W uzhuan section ( N anpanjiang B asin, G uangxi, S outh C hina). The microbial limestone records the earliest phase of the E arly T riassic biotic recovery after the end‐ P ermian mass extinction. For the first time, rich conodont faunas are...
