During the Late Paleozoic,brachiopod faunas of Retziella (Pridoli-Lochkovian), Tongqigou Formation (Tournaisian)and Zhesi(Kungurian- Wordian)appeared in central Jilin.Retziella and Tongqigou Formation brachiopod faunas were warm-waterbrachiopods,and Zhesi brachiopod fauna was a cool-waterfauna.Meanwhile,we refer to the characteristics of coral and fusulinid faunas.These show that the faunas of central Jilin from Pridoli to Asselian belonged towarm-water type,and from Kungurian to Wordian belonged to cool-watertype.This conversion from warmwaterto cool-wateroccurred in the Sakmarian, represented by the Monodiexodinafauna of Shoushangou Formation.The development and conversion of warm-waterand cool-waterfaunas were caused by tectonopaleogeography and climate change.During the late Silurian-Early Devonian, the Siberian Plate,Kazakhstan Plate and Jiamusi- Mongolia Block were located at low northern latitudes. The late Silurian-Early Devonian (even to Middle Devonian)brachiopod fauna of central Jilin belongs to warm-waterfauna and its paleobiogeography falls within the China-Australia Paleobiogeographic Province.During the Carboniferous, the northeastern margin of the Eastern European Plate,most areas of the Kazakhstan Plate,and the southern margin of the Jiamusi-Mongolia Block comprised the North Margin of Tethys Ocean tectonic domain and its brachiopods,the North Margin of Tethys Ocean brachiopod fauna, comprised the North Margin of Tethys Ocean Province.The Carboniferous brachiopod fauna of central Jilin belonged to this province.During Kungurian-Wordian,the western margin of the Jiamusi-Mongolia Block probably coalesced with the Tarim Plate and the western tip of the North China Plate to form the Xar Moron Ocean tectonic domain.The formation of cool-waterZhesi brachiopod fauna were caused by the Xar Moron Ocean tectonic domain and global cooling event (Caroo Glaciation). The coevolution between paleobiogeography, tectonopaleogeography and paleoclimate indicates that the Late Paleozoic strata of central Jilin should belong to the southern margin continental deposition of Jiamusi-Mongolia Block.
