Abstract: | Based on the data of biostratigraphy, isotopic geochronology, magnetostratigraphy, the author has studied the upper and basal limits of Cretaceous in Zhejiang province and pointed out that the Tongxiang formation deve developed in Tongxiang Sag is the highest horizon of Cretaceous in Zhejiang province, it can be correlated with Taizhor formation in Jiangsu province. The bounbary between Palaeogene and cretaceous should be drawn between Changhe group and Tongxiang formation.The basal limit of Cretaceous in Zhejiang province is discussed by the author in decail. six kinds of fossils as ostracoda, estheria, bivalve, ghasterpod, insects and plant have been found in Laocun formation. The feature of palaeontological assemblage in Laocun formation is inclined to Early cretaceous. The isotopic age of Laocun formation is less than l3OMa, it belongs to Cretaceors. MOR magnetopolarity zone that is near to the base of Aptian stage was found in Hengshou formation, which can indirectly show that the Jiande group is not suitable for Jurassic. The data mentioned above show that the basal limit of Cretaceous in Zhejiang province should be delimited on the basal limit of Laocun formation. |
