Abstract

The Yingfengling section composed of red soil and volcanic rocks can be distinguished into 8 stratigraphic units and 4 red soil-volcanic rock cycles. 64 paleomagnetic-orientated samples were collected from the bottom to the top of the section. Natural remanent magnetization and magnetic susceptibility were firstly measured. All the samples were stepwisely treated with thermal or/and alternating fields. Four clear polarity segments were recorded in the section. Compared with the geo-magnetic polarity scale, the section was formed since the late Olduvai subchron, about 1. 37 Ma. B. P.
