Reliability of quartz Ti-center in ESR dating of fluvial sediment
reliable dating method is yet to be established. ESR is a potential way. In this work
the Matuyama/Brunhes boundary (about 780 ka) samples were collected from the Gaoliying drill
Beijing and the Donggutuo site of the Nihewan basin
Heibei province. Quartz Ti-center ESR signals of the samples were analyzed. The results suggest that the ESR ages of the Matuyama/Brunhes boundary samples are consistent with the ages of paleo-magnetic investigation in deviation of 10%. Meanwhile
measurements of samples from the Gaoliying at different depths were performed. The results suggest that the ESR ages become older with the buried depth. All these indicate the reliability of quartz Ti-center in ESR dating of fluvial sediment
and we can gain the age of fluvial sediment at least younger than 780 ka using quartz Ti-center ESR signal.
