Fig. 7. Magnetostratigraphy of the Guanjiashan, Houwan and Caijiabao sections and their correlation with the geomagnetic polarity time scale (GPTS) of Gradstein et al. (2012), and with
the Xiejia-Tashan borehole section (Dai et al., 2006; Zan et al., 2015) and the Mojiazhuang section (Yang et al., 2017). For comparison, the magnetostratigraphic results for the Panzishan
loess section on terrace T10 are also shown (Lu et al., 2007). The sky-blue and light-red stripes are sandstone and paleosol marker horizons which facilitate correlation of the Xiejia-Tashan
borehole section, the Mojiazhuang section and our sections. All the magnetostratigraphic correlations are based on distinct stratigraphic markers and fossil mammals. VGP lat.: latitude of
the virtual geomagnetic pole; Inc.: inclination.
