| Abstract: | The paleoforest remains studied are distributed within a range of 18000 m2 in the intertidal zone of the Qianhu Bay, Fujian Province. Eighty-nine ancient tree stumps can be clearly recognized in the paleoforest remains. Microscopic studies of 10 relatively low-carbonized stump samples definitely showed four species: Glyptostrobus pensili (Staunt) Kouch, Schima superba Gardn., Cinnamomum Schaeffer, and Litsea Lam. The 14C dating of some samples yielded the ages of 42560±350 to ＞43000 a B.P., corresponding to the late Late Pleistocene. |
