中国三叶虫实录

专著对前人记述的中国古生代1677 个三叶虫属逐一作了厘定，最后将这些属确定为1317有效属。通过大量野外和室内工作的核对，对各有效属的地理分布和地质历程作了精确纪录; 又根据三叶虫时空分布实际资料，修订了中国寒武纪和奥陶纪的生物古地理。揭示了三叶虫分异和宏演化的趋向，可靠地展示了我国三叶虫科、属在古生代46 个阶及寒武纪-奥陶纪71 个时段的多样性变化曲线，揭示了发生在古生代的规模不等的9 次辐射和12 次灭绝事件。这一专著为三叶虫的进一步深入研究以及为该门类古生物在地质学和生物学方面的参考应用提供了丰富而可靠的基础信息。

This monograph conducts taxonomic revision for each of the 1,677 previously documented trilobite genera from the Paleozoic of China, and ultimately identifies 1,317 of them as valid genera. Through verification via extensive field and laboratory work, it accurately documents the geographic distributions and geological histories of each valid genus; additionally, it revises the biopaleogeography of the Cambrian and Ordovician in China based on empirical data on the spatio-temporal distribution of trilobites. It reveals the trends of trilobite diversification and macroevolution, reliably presents the diversity change curves of trilobite families and genera in China across the 46 Paleozoic stages and 71 time intervals of the Cambrian-Ordovician, and uncovers 9 radiation events and 12 extinction events of varying scales that occurred during the Paleozoic. This monograph provides abundant and reliable foundational information for further in-depth research on trilobites, as well as for the reference and application of this paleontological group in geological and biological studies.
