- Abstract
313 orientated samples were collected from Drilling Core ZK1 in southern Leizhou Peninsula for the study of Quaternary paleomagnetic strato-chronology. The polarily measurement results indicate that the core recorded paleomagnetic information in three main parts: the upper one of the core, from the ground surface to the depth of 39 m, is normally magnetized in polarity, the middle one, from 39m to 210m in depth, mainly shows reversed polarity and the lower one recorded normal polarity again. They correspond to the Brunhes normal chron, the Matuyama reversed chron and the Guass normal chron in the geomagnetic polarity time scale, respectively. The age of the core could be over 3.4 Ma. Meanwhile, the magnetic susceptibility was measured and its result is significant for stratigraphic division and paleoclimatic research.
