Upper Norian conodonts from the Baoshan block, western Yunnan, southwestern China, and implications for conodont turnover [PDF]
The Sevatian of the late Norian is one of the key intervals in biotic turnover and in changes of paleoclimate and paleoenvironments. Conodont faunas recovered from two sections of upper Norian strata of the Dashuitang and Nanshuba formations near Baoshan
