Abstract: Based on the previous studies, the boundary between the Devonian and the Carboniferous and the middle boundary of Carboniferous are discussed. It is suggested that such formations as Yeliemodun, Baiyushan and Hala'alate are all the stratigraphic units for stradding the Upper and Lower Carboniferous. In this paper, the relationships among the Hongguleleng, Hebukehe, Gennaren and Heishantou formations are mainly discussed, and it is proposed that using the Heishantou formation substitutes for the Hebukehe and Gennaren formations.

Key words: Xinjiang, north, Carboniferous, Heishantou formation, Gennaren formation, Hebukehe formation, stratigraphic classification
