The discovery and significance of the Middle to Late Triassic conodonts Budurovignathus and Pseudofurnishius in the Baoshan region, Yunnan

The conodonts Budurovignathus and Pseudofurnishius are of important stratigraphic values and relatively rare in the world. The following conodont species have been found in the Baoshan region, Yunnan, including Budurovignathus hungaricus (Kozur et Vigh), B. mungoensis (Diebel), B. aff. mungoensis (Diebel) or B. bashanensis sp. nov., B. diebeli (Kozur et Mostler), Pseudofurnishius socioensis (Gullo et Kozur), P. murcianus (Van Den Boogaard), Pseudofurnishius sp. A et al. The findings in this study may provide the biochronologic constraints on the Middle to Late Triassic strata in the Baoshan region, Yunnan, expand the extents of the Triassic conodont biozones, and contribute valuable information to the study of the conodonts Budurovignathus and Pseudofurnishius in China.
