From: Magnetostratigraphic dating of the hominin occupation of Bailong Cave, central China
Lithostratigraphy (a) and magnetic polarity stratigraphy (b–e) of the sedimentary sequence at Bailong Cave, and correlation with the astronomically tuned Neogene timescale of Hilgen et al.56 (ATNTS2012) (f). 26Al/10Be burial and ESR/U-series ages respectively reported by Liu et al.39 and Han et al.40 are shown in (a). The cross on the top of the polarity column (e) indicates that no samples were taken from this interval. Red circles and blue diamonds in (b–d) represent thermally and AF demagnetized specimens, respectively. a1 and a2 in (d) represent anomalous paleomagnetic directions. Dec., declination; Inc., inclination; MAD, maximum angular deviation; VGP Lat., the virtual geomagnetic pole latitude; B, Brunhes; M, Matuyama; J, Jaramillo.
