QUATERNARY GLACIATION IN SHENNONGJIA

Shennongjia located in central China is an important area to study Quaternary geology.Based on the distribution of glacial vestiges,we make a discussion of the Shennongjia Quaternary glaciation.There are three glacial substages,i.e.Songbai glaciation,Muyu glaciation,Longtan glaciation,and two epiglacidtions,i.e.Songxiangping epiglaciation,Shennongjia epiglaciation.A study of the Shennongjia Quaternary glaciation provides new data for solution of the dispute over the Quaternary glaciation in eastern China. Quaternary climatic stratigraphic sequence in Shennongjia is established for the first time.
