 note = {Jurassic deposits in China are mainly of continental origin and contain an abundance of clam shrimps, whose rapid evolution and radiation make them biostratigraphically useful in subdividing and classifying non-marine strata in China. In this paper we summarize nine Jurassic clam shrimp faunas in China. Although the early Middle Jurassic Shizhuestheria fauna has been encountered in geographically small areas in Chongqing, the early Early Jurassic Palaeolimnadia baitianbaensis fauna, the late Early Jurassic Eosolimnadiopsis fauna and the Middle Jurassic Euestheria ziliujingensis fauna are widely distributed in southern and northern China. Since late Middle Jurassic because of the climate change and the geographical barrier clam shrimps began to differentiate into two geographical provinces, e.g. the Paleoleptestheria? chinensis fauna in southwestern China and the Sinokontikia fauna in northern China. During Late Jurassic warm, extremely arid climate in China made clam shrimps differentiated into three faunas, e.g. the Oxfordian Pseudograpta fauna of the northern province, the Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian Eosestheriopsis fauna and the Qinghaiestheria-Mangyalimnadia fauna of the southern province, the latter fauna is only recovered in one locality in the Qaidam Basin.},
