  • Huangshan Profile in the eastern part of the Northeast Plain is a typical Quaternary profile in Northeast China; however, there are different views on the stratigraphic division and stratigraphic origin of this section. A detailed study on its grain size characteristics is expected to provide further insight into the stratigraphic division and stratigraphic origin of the profile. In this paper, high resolution grain size characteristics of the sediments in Tianhengshan (THS) Core were studied and compared with those in typical loess profiles on the Chinese Loess Plateau. The results show that the mean grain size, median grain size and percentage fraction of grain size of Harbin Formation fluctuated widely, with coarser grains in the loess layer and finer ones in the paleosol layer, similar to those in the loess-paleosol sequence on the Chinese Loess Plateau. However, grain size characteristics in Huangshan Formation show small fluctuations, thus indicating relatively stable sedimentary dynamics. The characteristics of grain size, including frequency distribution, C-M diagram and other grain size parameters (mean grain size, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis) in sediments between Harbin Formation and Huangshan Formation are obviously different, indicating that the sedimentary dynamics of the two groups are different. Based on the above characteristics of grain size, combining sedimentary facies and previous methods of classification, the middle-to late-Pleistocene strata of the THS Core from top to bottom is divided into Harbin Formation and Huangshan Formation, which are determined as aeolian accumulation and fluvial/lacustrine sediment, respectively.
