Abstract In the 1990s, some geologists named the Early Triassic isolated carbonate platform in the Luodian area of southern Guizhou Province in South China as the ��Great Bank of Guizhou��. During the past twenty years, this term ��Great Bank of Guizhou�� was used in more than 300 articles in foreign countries. In the 1990s, the authors have studied the lithofacies palaeogeography of the Early and Middle Triassic in South China. In June 2014, we went to the Luodian area and studied the Early Triassic Bianyang section again. According to the geological data we acquired, in the Early Triassic of the Luodian area of southern Guizhou Province, there was only an isolated ��Luodian Carbonate Platform��, while no bank existed, not to mention the ��Great Bank of Guizhou��. It is worth further discussion.|
