中文摘要：

岭南东江流域临江剖面含一套总厚约4．35m的弱网纹红土和强网纹红土，其顶部年龄为71．40±6．60TLkaB．P．,近底部50cm年龄为99．10±5．90OSLkaB．P．。粒度结果显示，弱网纹红土和强网纹红土都为粉砂质粘土，但前者颗粒比后者要粗，前者含较多的砂（〉50μm），在粒度频率分布上呈显著双峰态；后者含较多粉砂和粘土，呈近似单峰态。以粘土或胶体粘土含量反映的强、弱网纹红土的风化程度与深海Specmap和Sulusea氧同位素曲线指示的末次间冰期一末次冰期早期的全球冰量和西太平洋海面温度变化的趋势均颇为相似。这些证据表明，临江剖面网纹红土的形成时代应属晚更新世，即末次间冰期至末次冰期早期。

英文摘要：

A series of weak reticulate red clay and strong reticulate red clay with total thichness of 4.35 m were observed at Linjiang profile on the first terrace,Dongjiang River Basin, southern Nanling Mountains. The top age of weak reticulate red clay is 71.40±6.60 TL kaB. P. ,and the age near the bottom of the reticulate red clay is 99.10±5.90 OSL kaB. P.. The results of grain-size analyses show that both reticulate red clay are mainly composed of silty clay, but weak reticulate red clay is more coarser than strong reticulate red clay,the former contains more sand（〉50 μm） contents and displays markedly bimode grain size distribution;the latter consists of more silt and clay and displays approximately single peak in grain-size distribution. The weathering degree reflected by clay or colloid clay of strong and weak reticulate red clay corresponds to the peak values of Specmap and Sulu sea oxygen isotope curves,which is indicative of the fairly warm and humid periods from the last interglaciation to the early of last glacial. All these evidences make clear that the reticulate red clay in Linjiang is likely to be formed during the early late Pleistocene,i. e. ,from the last interglacial to the early last glacial.
