Studies show that the sedimentary form was induced by the growth and decline and confrontation each other between the winter monsoon and the summer monsoon of East Asia in the past 150 ka.展开更多

By analyzing its sequence and grain-size composition some views have been put forward in this paper as follows. The layers of sand, loess and palaeosol in Yulin section were respectively formed by wind and the pedogenesis on parent material of the sand and loess. Since 1.1Ma B. P., Ordos Desert has alternately experienced 11 stages of shifting dunes under extreme cold-dry climatic environment, 7 stages of fixed and semi-fixed dunes and 8 stages of dust (loess) under cold-dry climatic condition; and the pedogenesis environment under 15 times of warm-humid climate and 3 times of temperate-humid climate (brownish-drab soils and black soils formed respectively). The aeolian sand had already existed in Ordos Desert at latest by 1.1Ma B. P., and from that time on it has undergone a series of alternative processes of shifting sands, fixed and semi-fixed dunes, loess and soils. Ordos Desert has been situated in the transitional belt of the Mongolian High Pressure and margin of the southeast summer monsoon since 1.1Ma B. P., and influenced repeatedly by migration of the lithofacies belts of shifting sands, fixed and semi-fixed dunes, loess and soils, which have been caused by the climatic fluctuations of glacial and interglacial periods.展开更多

The age of each stratigraphic unit has been determined with the magnetic polarity time scale combined with 39Ar/40Ar dating, thus providing evidence for determining the geological ages of different formations. The authors assign the age of the Dongjing Formation of the Hengyang Basin to Early Cretaceous, the Shenhuangshan Formation to Early-Late Cretaceous, the Daijiaping Formation to Late Cretaceous, and the Dongtang and Xialiushi formations to Palaeocene.展开更多

The results show that:a. The volcanism on the Fildes Peninsula has been from later Paleocene to early Middle Miocene; b. The formation time of the volcanic rocks of Jasper Hill Member belongs to later Paleocene becarse of the isotope age being 54Ma and 55Ma determined with Rb -Sr and 39 Ar -40Ar methods, respectively, c. The volcanic rocks of Agate Beach Member are the products of the volcanic activities during Early Eocene according to K -Ar isochron(45 -50Ma); d. The geological age of fossil Hill member is about Middle Eocene to Early Oligocene; e. the formation time of Block Hill member is probably early Middle Miocene.These data combining with the geological adn palaeontological evidences strongly support to best understand the stratigraphical correlation adn reveal the volcanism in studied area.展开更多
