Title: Redeposited Foraminiferal fossils in teh cenozoic strata of Weining and neighbouring areas, Guizhou
Abstract: In the middle Eighties, some marine Foraminiferal fossils found in the upper Tertiary deposits of Weining and neighbouring areas, Guizhou were reported and it was thus inferred that Late Tertiary marine invasion reached the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Based on our analysis and identification we considered these Foraminiferal fossils as Carboniferous redeposited samples which contain many fusulinids and small Foraminiferal fossils. The age of these fusulinids is Early Carboniferous. Therefore, the above-mentioned interpretation on the Neogene geological history of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is corrected.
