Abstract
Five species of graptolites belonging to four genera were described from the upper part of the Mungok Formation in the Hwabyung area of Yeongwol, Korea. They are Dendrograptus sp., Callograptus curvithecalis Mu 1955, Adeiograptus tenellus Linnarsson, 1871, Adelograptus sp., and Psigraptus jacksoni Rickards and Stait, 1984. Most of them are reported for the second time in Korea, and the occurrence of Psigraptus is the sixth time ever in the world, following the Yukon Territory of Canada, the Vctoria and Tasmania areas of Australia, and the Jilin and Hebei areas of China. Based on the graptolites, three biozones were recognized from the upper part of the Mungok Formation in the Hwabyung area: the Adelograptus Zone, the Callograptus-Dend개graptus Zone, and the Psigraptus Zone, in ascending order. These graptolite zones are correlated with the La 1.5 Zone (Psigraptus and Clonograptus Zone or Assemblage 3) of Vctoria, Australia, the Psigraptus Zone of the Road River Formation in Yukon, Canada, and the Psigraptus Zone of the Yehli Formation of Hunjiang, Jilin, nonh China. Therefore, according to the graptolites and their biozones, the age of the upper part of the Mungok Formation is assigned to be early Late Tremadoc.
