CRETACEOUS MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHY IN THE SONGLIAO BASIN, CHINA

摘要

This paper is the result of research on the Cretaceous magnetostratigraphy in the Songliao Basin. The palaeomagnetic experiment on 2235 specimens from 24 drills and an outcrop profile in Quantou shows that most specimens have stable remanent magnetization.The features of polarities associated with all the rock formations of the Cretaceous in the Songliao plain have been summarized. The reversed polarity zones have been found in the Yingcheng, Dcnglouku, Yaojia and Nenjiang Formations. These reserved-polarity zones and their geologic ages have been argued. Accordingly. the polarity columns for different drills and a comprehensive column have been compiled, and the classification and correlation of the Cretaceous stratigraphy in the Songliao Basin have been discussed.
