The purpose of the present study is to clarify the stratigraphy and geologic structure of the Great Limestone Series by means of study on fossil conodonts and detail investigation of geologic structure. In recent years very few geologists in Korea argue without confident evidences against the age and stratigraphy of the Great Limestone Series which have been rather well established previously in most parts of the regions although it is ambiguous and has not been studied in other areas. Five type localities in the Kangweon basin where the Great Limestone Series is well cropped out were chosen for the study. Total 26 genus and 66 species of conodont were identified from 290 samples collected and treated. From the study on conodonts the age of each formations of the Great Limestone Series has been determined as follows: The Great Limestone Series of Duwibong type Duwibong limestone: Caradocian (mid-Ord.) Jikunsan shale: Landeilian (mid-Ord.) Maggol limestone: Llanvirn-Llandeilian (mid-Ord.) Dumugol: Arenigian (Ord.) Hwajeol: Upper Cambrian The Great Limestone Series of Yeongweol type Mungok (Samtaesan) : Ordovician Machari: upper Cambrian The Great Limestone Series of Jeongseon type Erstwhile Jeongseon limestone: mid-Ord. The erstwhile Jongseon Limestone formation in Jeongseon district is separated into Hwajeol, Dongjeom, Dumudong, and Maggol formations which were cropped out repeatedly by folding and faulting, but Maggol is predominant in areal distribution. Yemi Limestone Breccia bed is not a single bed but distributed in several horizons so that it bears no stratigraphic significance. The limestone bed above Yemi Limestone Breccia, which was believed by some geologists to be much younger than Ordovician, is identified to be Maggol and its age is determined to be mid-Ordovician. Sambangsan formation in Yeongweol district was believed to be Cambrian age and lower horizon than Machari formation by Kobayashi, but C. M. Son believed that it might belong to later than Ordovician and lies above the Great Limestone Series of Yeongweol type. It was identified to be upper Cambrian and lies beneath the Machari formation and above the Daeki formation, the lower most horizon of the Great Limestone Series. The age of Yeongweol type Choseon system is contemporaneous with that of Duwibong type Choseon system. The difference in lithofacies is not due to lateral facies change, but due to the difference in its depositional environment. The Yeongweol type Choseon system is believed to be deposited in the small Yeongweol basin which was separated from the main Kangweon sedimentary basin. Judging from these facts it is definitely concluded that there exists no Gotlandian formation in the regions studied. Structurally the Kangweon basin comprises five basins and two uplifted areas. These structures were originated by at least two crustal movements, that is, Songrim disturbance of Triassic and Daebo orogeny of Jurasic age.

The purpose of this report is to prepare a data for the economic evaluation on the Goobong Limestone Mine which is located at the south-eastern corner of the Yongchun Quadrangle scaled in 1:50,000. The accessibility from the mine to railroad was considered in two ways. One is to Dodam Station on Central Railway Line and the other is to reach Songjung-ni village which is near Sangyong Station on Hamback Railway Line. The distance of the former way is 26.7km and the later is 24.2km. Geologically the mine is situated near the base of the Greast Limestone Series which strikes generally $N25^{\circ}{\sim}30^{\circ}E$. The series comprises six different formations from older to younger; Pungchon Limestone Formation and Whajol Formation of Cambrian age, and Dongjum Quartzite Formation, Dumudong Formation, Maggol Limestone Formation and Goseong Formation of lower to middle Ordovician age. 82 samples; 48 from Pungchon Limestone Formation, 11 from Dumudong Formation, 15 from Maggol Limestone Formation and 8 from Goseong Formation, were taken from the series in the crossed direction to the general trend of the series as shown in geological map. They were chemically analyzed on the components of CaO, MgO, $SiO_2$, $R_2O_3(Al_2O_3+Fe_2O_3)$ and ignition loss as shown in table 2, table 3, table 4, and table 5. As seen from the tables, among the formations of the series, middle to upper parts of the Pungchon Limestone Formation and middle and upper parts of the Dumudong Formation have chemical composition as available source for the raw material of cement industry, not only that but also the part of the Pungchon Formation was highly evaluated as source for the flux of iron smelting and the raw material of carbide manufacturing because of its high purity of calcium carbonate.

The Daeheung Dolomite Mine, which is about 6km south of Danyang, Chungcheongbugdo, is coincided with almost central portion of the Danyang quardrangle scaled in 1 : 50,000. The purpose of this report is to prepare a information for the economic evaluation on the mine. Geology of the region is composed of worm-eaten limestone, crystalline limestone, crystalline dolomite rock, sandstone and shale from bottom, those are applicable to socalled Dumugol and Maggol formation of Ordovician, and batholithic biotite granite is intruded the west-side of the ditto sedimentary rocks. The dolomite bed, emplaced in bottom of the upper limestone formation, so-called Maggol formation, is about 270m in thickness, and dips $30^{\circ}{\sim}50^{\circ}$ northwest. The facies of the dolomite rock contained many brucite crystals is not only coarse-grained crystalline, but also micro crystalline in contact metasomatic parts. 25 samples were taken from the two series, A and B, in the nearly crossed direction to the strike of the dolomite bed as shown in the geological map. They were chemically analysed on the components of MgO, CaO, and $SiO_2$ as shown in Table 2. The estimate ore reserves total some 107,200,000 metric tons above the 320m level with the following average contents: MgO 21.80%, CaO 29.27% and $SiO_2$ 0.64%. It is caused by brucite minerals that MaO content in the dolomite rock is higher than pure dolomite (21.7%). The dolomite ore is possible in use for magnesian fertilizer, magnesian cement and refractory material, especially the microcrystalline dolomite ore is useful for a refractory material in furnaces of iron industries.

강원도 예미부근에는 예미각력암 (Yemi Breccia)이라는 층이 보고되어 있다. 이 층은 두위봉형 조선누층군 막골층을 부정합으로 덮고 있으며, 이 층 위에 고성 셰일이 정합적으로 놓인다고 알려져 왔다. 예미각력암의 야외조사와 조직적 관찰결과, 예미각력암은 막골층 상부가 퇴적될 당시에 퇴적된 증발암이 속성작용에 의해 용해됨으로써 생성된 속성산물인 용해-붕락 각력암 (solution-collapse breccia)이라 생각된다. 따라서 예미각력암은 기존에 독림된 층으로 제안된 바와는 달리 막골층의 상부층의 일부로 간주되어야 하며, 상위의 고성셰일은 직운산층으로, 고성석회암은 두위봉층과 대비되는 것으로 생각된다.

${\delta}^{13}C$ and ${\delta}^{18}O$ values were determined for the Paleozoic limestones (Great Linestone Series) from the Taebaegsan region and the age-unknown limestones (Janggun Formation) from the Janggun mine, Korea. Limestones of the Great Limestone Series exhibit a range of carbon isotopic composition from -4.5 +1.3‰ with a mean ${\delta}^{13}C$ value of -1.1‰, relative to the PDB standard, and of oxygen isotpic composition from +8.8 to +23.3‰ with a mean ${\delta}^{18}O$ value of +16.0‰, relative to the SMOW, falling into the normal marine limestone range according to Keith and Weber (1964), and Degens and Epstein(1964). Carbon isotopic composition of limestones of the Great Limestone Series becomes progressively lighter from Pungchon limestone of middle Cambrian age to mid-Ordovician Maggol limestone, possibly due to change in depositional environment in the Taebaegsan basin. Variation in isotopic composition of limestones from Hwajeol to Dumugal formation offers the possibility or deposition in shallow sea environment, in which fresh waters were added in several stages. Janggun limestone of unknown age may be corelated with the Paleozoic limestones of Great Limestone Series as infered from the istopic composition ranging from -2.8 to + 0.7‰ of ${\delta}^{13}C$ and +13.4 to +22.4‰ of ${\delta}^{18}O$.

This paper reviews Professor O.J. Kim's work on "The stratigraphy and geologic structure of the Great Limestone Series in South Korea". Although he stated in his paper such as "very few geologists in Korea argue without confident evidences against the age and stratigraphy of the Great Limestone Series which have been rather well established previously in most parts of the regions", he disregarded the Jeongseon type of the Joseon (Chosen) System and modified the Yeongweol and the Pyeongchang types. According to his description, the Jeongseon type is not a different type and it is only due to structural repetition of the Hwajeol and Dumudong Formations of the Duwibong type and its Maggol Limestone. Also, he devided the Sambangsan Formation of the Yeongweol type into the east and west parts along the so-called Jeolgaesan fault, and they are correlated to the Hongjeom Series and Sesong Slate (Seison Slate) of Kobayashi, respectively. Furthermore he established newly Yeongweol type which includes the original Kobayashi's Yeongweol type and the Upper Limestone of the Pyeongchang type. Also, he pointed out that his newly established Yeongweol type is quite correlatable to the Duwibong type. The writer's opinion can be concluded that the Jeongseon type is not simply of structural repetition and structurely the Sambangsan Formation can not be devided into two parts. Also structurely there is no evidence of its correlation to the Sesong Slate as well as his conodont study in his Yeongweol type shows no indication of the correlation. The writer thinks that as to the stratigraphy of the Yeongweol and Jeongseon types of the Joseon System, it should be agreed with the Kobayashi's opinion or should be followed the idea of the very few geologists, he mentioned.
