25 members consisting of researchers from Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, CAS and Nanjing University, reporters from Beijing News, technicians from China Unicom, drivers and kitchener undertook the investigation on the Palaeozoic strata and faunas from various regions in northern Tibet from 5 September to 2 October. The expedition areas include areas in northern Selingco, Rejuechaka and Rongma region in northern Nyima County, Wenbu area in southern Nyima County. In northern Selingco region, the expedition focused on the faunas from the exotic limestone blocks within the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone. In the Rejuechaka region, the expedition attention was paid on the Permian-Triassic successions, sea-level changes, and Permian and Triassic faunas and floras. In the Rongma area, the Ordovician cephalopod and Permian microfossils within the Longmu Co-Shuanghu suture zone was investigated.
