Abstract: Mr. Peng Xiling gave a name "Jingou formation" (C3j) for a set of strata in east side of Shiqianta n in Kela meili area of Junggar basin in 1980. The author found Palaeoniscoidea fossil in ca lareous mudstoneth in interca lated bed of "Jingou formation" in 1982, and fou nd Microdotella suvote (Jones) in the fossil bed in the same ti me, so it is considered that the age of "Jingou for mation" should be late Permian. Based on the ana ly-sis results of sporopollen, it is confirmed that "Jingou formation" and Pingdiquan formation (P2p) are in the same time, but sediments of different facies, so the "Jingou formation" should be renamed Pingdiquan formation.

Key words: Xinjiang, Kelameili, Jingou formation, Late Permian, Pingdiquan formation, Palaeoniscoidea, Microdotella, Sporopollen
