Based on two field survey in the Dalangtan area of Qaidam Basin,many outcrops of mirabilite and carbonate clay interlayers were found in Xiaoliangshan.The well D26 section was selected for research in this study.The comparative salinology study shows that mirabilite is a typical cold saline mineral and carbonate clay and gypsum is indicative of relative cool and semiarid conditions.Using mineralogical identification of mirabilite and carbonate clay interbeds,gypsum U-Th datings,and carbon and oxygen isotopic analysis of carbonate clay,this study firstly reveals that the Dalangtan region underwent five climate stages around penultimate glaciation(MIS 6):relative cool-semiarid stage(195.1 ka BP),frigid-arid stage(195.1 ~ 169.9 ka BP),relative cool-semiarid stage(about 169.9 ka BP),chilly-cold fluctuating stage(169.9 ka BP ~ 118 ka BP),and relative cool-semiarid stage(118 ka BP).Comparative study with loess section and marine oxygen isotope and regional research data suggests that since Middle and Late Pleistocene,the Dalangtan region was not only uplifted by activities of regional geology,but also response to global climate change.
