Abstract
Conodont faunules are found first from the fusulinid-bearing and laminated limestones of the so-called Nabeyama formation in Kuzuu district. This is the first record of conodonts from fossiliferous Permian carbonate sediments in this district as well as in Japan. The results of preliminary examination strongly suggest the possibility of a major faunal transition from the Carboniferous to the Triassic type faunas at around the top horizon of the lower limestone member of the Nabeyama formation.
