| Abstract: | Seven samples of loess and paleosol collected from the major stratigraphic boundaries of the strata of the Weinan section, Shaanxi Province, are dated using the fine-grained TL technique.Based on the TL results and previously ages-published from this section, the polynomial fitting methods are applied to the development of the high resolution time scale for the Weinan loess section in the late Quaternary. According to this time scale, the ages of S0/L1, L1-1/L1-2, L1-4/L1-5, L1/S1 and S1/L2 stratigraphic boundary of Weinan section are 1. 1, 2. 5, 5. 1,7. 6 and 12. 8 ka B. P., which, with exception of the maximum difference between the ages of L1-4/ L1-5 and the ages of 3/4 stage boundary of the deep-sea oxygen isotopes, are generally consistent with the ages of 1/2, 2/3, 4/5 and 5/6 stage boundary of the deep-sea oxygen isotopes in the SPECMAP curve. |
