【Abstract】 There is a large-scale submarine buried paleo-delta in the east outer continental shelf of Hainan Island, in water depth from 100 to 150 m. The paleo-delta is about 5 000 km~2 in size, sloping downward from northwest to southeast. The comprehensive analysis of the geographical location, topography, sediment and, especially, sub-bottom structure etc., of the paleo-delta shows that the submarine buried paleo-delta has intact foreset beds and bottom set beds as well as destroyed topset beds owing to erosion or slump effects. The ekistence of large-scale oblique bedding of foreset beds in water depth of 135-150 m, which is very clear on sub-bottom profile record, is a very good evidence of the low sea level during the Late Pleistocene. The relict sand exposed directly on seabed above the sub marine buried paleo-delta, which results from erosion of the seabed, is littoral deposit formed during the last stage of Late Pleistocene to early Holocene. The sediment sequence of the sub marine buried Paleo-delta is a transgressive one. It is formed during the transgression Period of the last stage of Late Pleistocene to early Holocene. The geographical location of the paleo-delta discussed in this paper is corresponding to that of the paleo-delta outside the Zhujians River Estuary, which was formed in the same period.更多还原
