Abstract

The biostratigraphic significance of the bivalves Buchia and Aucellina in northeast China is assessed. Buchia is abundant in four assemblages of the Dong'anzhen Formation, spanning the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary: B. russiensis-B. fischeriana (Middle Volgian), B. fischeriana-B. unschensis (Upper Volgian), B. volgensis-B. cf. subokensis-B. cf. okensis-B. unschensis (Berriasian), and B. pacifica (Lower Valanginian). Aucellina is common in two Middle Barremian-Aptian assemblages: A. caucasica-A. aptiensis-A. jeletzkii in the lower part of the Upper Yunshan Formation, Longzhaogou Group, and in the lower part of the Chengzihe Formation, Jixi Group; A. cf. caucasica-A. cf. aptiensis in the upper part of the Upper Yunshan Formation. These assemblages can be correlated on a global scale and are particularly significant in dating the Early Cretaceous coalbearing measures of eastern Heilongjiang.
