Turfania taoshuyuanensis1 Liu and Ma 1973
Turfania vartus2 Wang 1979 This occurrence is assigned approximately. From Poplin et al (1991): 'The Upper Permian Dzungaria Wunggar] Basin on the Northern side of the Tienshan Range in Xinjiang, China, has yielded abundant fish mainly comprising palaeonisciforms such as Turfnia uartus Wang, 1979, and scarce ‘labyrinthodont’ remains. The original account of the fossil fish studied in this paper was by Liu & Wang (1978: 13, pl. 111, fig. 3), who attributed one of two specimens to an indeterminate palaeonisciform. Our paper reassesses that fossil, together with another one, both of which are characterized by a mosaic of acanthodian and actinopterygian features. The specimens come from the Southern Junggar Basin, c. 2 km west of the city of Urumtchi [Urumqi], which is located on the north-eastern side of the Yaomoshan Mountain'
