Abstract
This paper describes the Middle Jurassic gastropods from the Marl member of the Daheishan Formation in the Chuanba Coal Mine of Gerze, Xizang (Tibet). 9 species of gastropods occurred in there. Among them 3 species are new, the other 6 species are all known to appear in the Middle Jurassic Bathonian. Accordingly, the fossil-bearing beds are of Middle Jurassic age. Besides, 4 species of gastropods from there belong to the Cerithiacea, 1 species to the Littorinaces. Their extant species are living in the littoral area or shallow sea. Therefore, the fossil-bearing beds probably belong to littoral or shallow sea deposits.
