Abstract: Junggar basin not only contains rich oil resources, but also has yielded many vertebrate fossils. This paper reviews the almost one century vertebrate research history briefly, and introduces important progress which has been made recently. Many interesting specimens have been discovered, e.g. Guanlong wucaii, Jiangjunosaurus junggarensis and some mammal fossils. Recent works on the Junggar basin have increased the number and biodiversity of animal genera; provide evidence for the biodiversity of evolution, division and correlation of stratigraphy, or ensuring geology age. Finally, the article takes the south margin of Junggar basin and Klameli area as example and summarized the main clades fossil of Mesozoic in these areas. Through analyzing the characteristics of the mainly Biota and discussing the significance in the stratigraphic subdivision, we also suggests gathering the micropaleontology sample meanwhile excavation vertebrate fossil in order to enhance the accuracy of vertebrate in the stratigraphic subdivision work.
