STUDY OF THE SHORT MAGNETIC EXCURSION IN THE LATEST PLEISTOCENE
晚更新世末期地磁短期游移的研究

The short magnetic excursion at Jiaozhou-Dingzi bays in the Latest Pleistocene was ascertained by the paleomagnetic measurements of six sedimentary cores, with reference to 14C dating, the palaeoclimate, palaeontological and the lithologicae character of the Quaternary strata. Comprehensive study shows that this excursion corresponded to the Gothenburg magnetic excursion (13750-12350 a B. P) occurred beneath the Holocene marine strata and on the top of the continental strata of the late Pleistocene. The Gothenburg magnetic excursion may be further proved as a boundary basis between the Pleistocene and the Holocene.
