Fish-bearing nodules are found in Early Triassic marine strata in many regions, including East Greenland, East Spitsbergen, Northwest Madagascar, Canada, Angola, and South China. A new Olenekian (Early Triassic) conodont biostratigraphic study for stratum that contains fish-bearing nodule levels is conducted based on the Longtan (LT) Section of Nanjing City and the Qingshan (QS) Section of Jurong County, Jiangsu Province, South China. A total of 101 samples were collected at the two sections and three conodont zones were recognized: in ascending order, they areScythogondolella(Sc.)milleriZone,Novispathodus(Nv.)pingdingshanensisZone, andTriassospathodus(Tr.) aff.homeriZone. TheScythogondolella milleriZone is globally recognized as the uppermost conodont zone of the Smithian and the base of theNovispathodus pingdingshanensisZone was previously suggested as the marker of the Smithian-Spathian boundary in the Yangtze region. The fish-bearing-nodule levels of Nanjing and Jurong are within the conodontScythogondolella milleriZone, laterally correlated well with the upper part of theNovispathodus waageniZone in Chaohu of Anhui Province that also contains fish-bearing-nodule levels. The conodont biostratigraphic correlation confirms the Early Triassic fish-bearing-nodule levels in the Lower Yangtze region are coeval, with an end-Smithian in age.
