I. Comoprehensive Study on the Jinniushan Paleolithic Site----by Zhang Senshui et al.
Summay
Jinniushan is a small isolated hill with an elevation of 69.3m and only covers an area of about 0.3 square kilometers. It is situated in the lower course of the Liaohe River and about 20km to the east of Yinkou City and 5km south of Dashiqiao Town. The hill is lithologically composed of proterozoic dolomite-marble, sericite-marble, pinolite, binary-schist, quartz-schist and tremolite-schist. The rock strata were forced by strong geotectonic movements into there presents 60o-70o dip angles.
In order to get a systematic overview of the Jinniushan site, the leader of the Yinkou Museum, invited the authors of this report to make a synthetic study of these materials and the following results have been obtained.
1.Description of materials
A. Hominid fossils
B. Paleolithic relics
C. Fossil vertebrates
2. Geologic age
3. Environment
A. Habit of mammals
B. Spore and pollen assemblage
C. Heavy minerals
D. Chemical analysis
E. Clay mineral composition
II. Avian Fossils of Pleistocene from Zhoukoudian------By Hou Lianhai
Summary
This paper presents the results of our investigation of a large collection of fossil bird materials excavated from the caves of Pleistocene of Zhoukoudian during the field seasons of 1927-1980.
Altogether 122 species are described, including one new genus and six new species. They are refewed to 78 genera, 31 families, and 13 orders. On the basis of ecological studies and the comparisons with the other known groups of the Pleistocene birds, we are of the opinion that the Chinese groups of Pleistocene birds from Zhoukoudian have close phylogenetic relationships with those of Europe and have similarities with Pleistocene birds of Africa and America.
