Dating and microfossil analysis was conducted on four boreholes of late Quaternary deposit in the southern Changjiang(Yangtze)River delta plain to characterize the chronology and sea-level changes during the late Pleistocene. Our work shows that the blueish gray stiff mud at core depth of 100~145 m was deposited from ~110 to 120 kaBP, serving as the symbol of the end of the mid Pleistocene. The dark green or brownish yellow stiff mud at core depth of 15~30 m was deposited from 10 to 17 kaBP, serving as the end of the late Pleistocene. Fluvial gravelly sand prevailed in the study area during 110~60 kaBP, and a weak transgression occurred during 100~80 kaBP, forming a drowned valley. Three sedimentary sequences (coarse-fine-coarse) appeared from 60 to 40 kaBP, from 40 to 34 kaBP, and from 34 to 22 kaBP respectively. Stiff mud was found in the west part of the study area during 40~34 kaBP. Continuous transgressive deposits of 60~22 kaBP were found in borehole MFC. Two strongest sea-level changes were discovered at 43~40 kaBP and 34~22 kaBP respectively.
