Abstract:
The Jianzha Basin is located in the northeastern margin of Tibetan Plateau, and contains a thick sequence of Cenozoic sediments, which is composed of the sequence of eolian red clay with a bit part fluviolacustrine deposits. The Jiarang section in Jianzha Basin is an ideal section for cyclostratigraphy, because of its high resolution on magnetostratigraphy and environmental magnetism. Based on the systematic cyclostratigraphy of 3-361 m sedimentary strata of Late Miocene in Jiarang section, the absolute astronomical time scale of Jiarang section was established, and the dominant period of earth orbital parameters affecting the paleoclimate evolution in Jianzha Basin was extracted, in order to provide basic data for the further comparison between land and sea, and the paleoclimatic and environmental evolution. The result of spectrum analyses of frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility(χ fd)in depth domain shows that there is a stable 26 m sedimentary cycle representing long eccentricity period in the 3-361 m interval, and the sedimentary cycles representing other astronomical orbital periods are also present, but not stable. Based on the identified sedimentary cycles, the long eccentricity period was used to tune frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility data series in depth domain of 3-361 m. Combined with the magnetostratigraphic chronological framework of Jiarang section, the absolute astronomical time scale of 11.758-5.890 Ma was established. The astronomical tuning for frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility data series in time domain is consistent with the paleomagnetic age, which indicates that the astronomical time scale is reliable. The spectrum analyses for frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility and marine oxygen isotope records show that there are obvious periodic shifts in about 7.2 Ma. This record reveals that the East Asian summer monsoon(EASM)is dominated by 41 ka obliquity period before 7.2 Ma, and controlled by 100 ka short eccentricity period after 7.2 Ma.
