Micropalaeontologists should lay stress on reconstructing microfossils ratherthan naming many formal genera and species. The study of palaeobiology is moreimportant than the study of traditional palaeontology. Micropalaeontologists shouldnot overestimate the importance of microfossils and overlook macrofossils. Identification of fossils is fundamental. Mixture of fossils with modern plantsis a serious problem in the study of small shel1y fossils. Eocucumaria Qian etDing, 1988, Huangshandongella Qian, Chen et Chen. 1979, Nephroides Qian, 1977,Primaconulariella He, 1987, and Chengdeina Liu, 1990, are not fossils but presentplant seeds or some parts of present plants. Some specimens assigned to Archaeo-oides granulatus Qian and Olivooides multisulcata Qian are not fossils either, evennot organic. They are no other than spherules formed by large-scale volcaniceruption or extraterrestrial impact. Some Chinese micropalaeontologists obviously violate the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature which should be followed.
