Abstract: | Eleven tephras and two pumice-rich horizons interbedded in Pleistocene marine sediments of the Wanganui Basin have been dated using the fission-track method on glass shards. Ages of the lower boundaries of New Zealand Pleistocene marine Substages are 0.45 m.y. (Putikian), 1.06 m.y. (Okehuan), 1.55 m.y. (Marahauan). On the basis of sedimentation rates an estimation of 1.86 m.y. is obtained for the Plio-Pleistocene boundary (Hautawan). |
