Abstract:
A total of 6 species of 4 genera conchostracan fossils have been first discovered in Gaoliban Town, southwest uplift of Songliao Basin, including
Estherites (

Estherites (

Estherites sp.,
Halysestheria biformis Zhang et Chen,
Glyptostracus sp. and
Dictyestheria sp., indicating the Late Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation in age. The discovery lays a foundation for the establishment of stratigraphic sequence in the southwest uplift of Songliao Basin and provides a strong support for further oil-gas geological survey and research in the area.
