Abstract
Despite the complete sequence and widespread distribution of diversified Sinian sediments within China, the research on Sinian metazoan fossils in China has been a weak link all along, which partly hinders the study of the Sinian system. The finding of hyolithids in the Dengying Formation in Emei Mountain, Sichuan1 (Liao Shifan 1958) has drawn attention to the existence of Pre-Cambrian metazoans in China. However, if Anabarites, an important representative of the first assemblage of small-shelled fossils in China, is referred to the Sinian, the earliest report should date back to 1941
