Abstract:

Quaternary deposits in the southern Daxing uplift in the Beijing Plain provide an important archive for Quaternary stratigraphic changes. Here we present the magnetostratigraphic results of borehole PGZ05 (255 m). A total of 440 undisturbed samples were collected from the borehole at a 0.2-0.5 m interval except for the sand and gravel lay. The results show that the Brunhes/Matuyama and Matuyama/Gauss boundaries occur at 75.60 m and 181.35 m deep, respectively. The Gauss normal polarity chron occurs at 181.35 to 255.00 m deep. The 75.60 to 181.35 m interval is fairly correlative with the Matuyama reversal in the geomagnetic polarity timescale, with two normal polarity zones corresponding to the Jaramillo (90.90-100.60 m) and Olduvai (149.70~165.50 m) subchrons, respectively. The AMS14C age of (2,370±30) a BP and (23,190±100) a BP were obtained from the samples at 12.20 m and 31.45 m deep. The lithologic section of the borehole PGZ05 includes the entire Pleistocene and Holocene sequences and part of the Pliocene sequence. According to the M/G boundary and lithologic section of the borehole, we suggest that the N/Q boundary is located at 181.35 m deep, and it represents an important lithological interface. We propose that the sediments below 181.35 m depth belong to the Upper Pliocene series. The Lower Pleistocene sequence occurs at 75.60-181.35 m deep and were deposited during 0.78-2.58 Ma. The boundary between the Middle and Upper Pleistocene sequence is located at 57.20 m deep, whilst the Holocene-Upper Pleistocene boundary is located at 17.35 m deep.
