Abstract
It is very important to distinguish the strata of different periods in the Quaternary period, especially the Middle Pleistocene and Late Pleistocene strata, for stratigraphic division, depositional environmental analysis and climate evolution analysis. In this study, the Shinaimiao (SNM) borehole sequence in Hebi City, Henan Province (China) was established by both electron spin resonance (ESR) and magnetostratigraphy methods. Both Al (eighteen samples) and Ti-Li (eight out of the eighteen samples) centers were measured using the Multiple Aliquots Additive Dose (MAAD) method. In addition, hundreds of magnetostratigraphic samples were measured to determine the precise position of the Matuyama/Brunhes (M/B) boundary. The results show that: (1) The equivalent dose (DE) values of the Al and Ti-Li centers are consistent within the error range, demonstrating that the Multiple Center (MC) approach has worked. (2) The ESR dating results are consistent with the order of sedimentation (the ages get older with depths) and with magnetostratigraphic results of the B/M boundary within the error range, indicating that the ESR ages obtained from the Al and Ti-Li centers are reliable in this study. (3) By comprehensive analysis of the dating results and lithology characteristics, the stratigraphic ages of the SNM borehole with a depth of 126.93 m spans from Neogene to Holocene, but part of the early Pleistocene strata are missing.
期刊介绍:
Quaternary Geochronology is an international journal devoted to the publication of the highest-quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of dating methods applicable to the Quaternary Period - the last 2.6 million years of Earth history. Reliable ages are fundamental to place changes in climates, landscapes, flora and fauna - including the evolution and ecological impact of humans - in their correct temporal sequence, and to understand the tempo and mode of geological and biological processes.
