Eolian sediment sequences on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are one of the best continental archives of paleoclimate change in the late Cenozoic Era. Variations in paleoclimate proxies in loess sequences, such as magnetic susceptibility (MS) and sedimentary grain size (GS), are standard tools to evaluate the time series of paleoclimatic fluctuations that bear a remarkable correlation with monsoon variability on multimillennial timescales. Monsoonal dynamics are linked to the rhythms of solar insolation, ice volume changes, and ocean–atmosphere energy exchange (Ding et al., 1994).Recently, Ao et al.(2016) published an 8 Myr record of the enhanced Miocene–Pliocene monsoon intensification model linked to the stepwise increase of the Antarctic ice-sheet. Their climate change evaluation is based on the age model of the so-called New Shilou red clay section situated∼ 13 km southeast of Shilou County (Shanxi Province) on the eastern CLP. The New Shilou section is situated∼ 1 km from the Shilou section, which was already dated at 11 Myr using magnetostratography (Xu et al., 2009). In 2015, TA, VAK, and RZ re-examined the magnetostratigraphic, MS and GS data for the Shilou section applying the analysis of orbital periodicities registered in the climate proxies (Anwar et al., 2015). After creating a first-order magnetostratigraphic correla-
