To improve regional and intercontinental correlation of the uppermost Devonian-lowermost Carboniferous, we examined the conodont faunas and carbon isotopic records of the Tangbagou Formation in the Qilinzhai section, southern Guizhou, South China. The Tangbagou Formation is a succession of mixed carbonate-siliciclastic rocks that accumulated on a shallow-water platform under normal marine conditions. Seven conodont zones for shallow-water biofacies in South China, the Cl. gilwernensis-Cl. unicornis Zone, the Po. spicatus Zone, the Si. homosimplex Zone, the Si. sinensis Zone, the Si. eurylobata Zone, the Ps. multistriatus Zone and the Po. co. porcatus Zone in ascending order, are recognized in the Tangbagou Formation. Although apparently limited in its value for global correlation, this conodont zonation is more applicable to shallow-water biofacies in South China. Carbonate samples have yielded carbon isotopic signatures consistent with those recorded in Euroamerica sections, in particular showing four distinct characteristics: (1) the peak values of Hangenberg Carbon Isotope Excursion (HICE) during the latest Devonian, (2) a minor positive shift (P1) in the Si. homosimplex Zone during the early Tournaisian, (3) a second minor positive shift (P2) in the Si. sinensis Zone and (4) the middle Tournaisian Carbon Isotope Excursion (TICE) in the middle part of the Tangbagou Formation. The similarity in peak values (similar to 5.5%) and magnitude of TICE for the Qilinzhai and Belgian sections indicates that the Euro-asia delta C-13(carb) trends may reflect the changes in global mean ocean delta C-13(DIC), rather than having been overprinted by local carbon cycling. Integration of conodont biostratigraphy and delta C-13 stratigraphy provides a powerful tool for stratigraphic correlation. Copyright (C) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
