Abstract
On the basis of Ref. [1] entitled "Carbonate eolianites in Putian, Fujian (Ⅰ)——Sedimentary structures and paleowinds", the sediment composition, sedimentary textures and diagenesis of the quartz-calcarenites in Houshijing, Putian, Fujian are described here and compared with those of adjacent modern dune and beach sands, and their genesis and sources of sediment are discussed further. The authors consider that they are carbonate eolianites which were formed by coastal dune sand derived from reworking of adjacent beach sand by prevailing northeast monsoon winds and then cemented by freshwater subaerially during the end of the Middle Holocene.
