【Abstract】 The grain particles of the !old red sand" are mainly quartz grains with diameters larger than 0^1 mm. The ages of the !old red sand" are difficult to be detected directly and usually indirectly determined by {}+{14}C dating of the deposits in the relative upper and underlying layers. In recent years, the development of thermoluminescence (TL) dating technique for coarse quartz particles makes it possible to date directly the age of the !old red sand". Based on the research of %Wintle et al%, TL technique is suitable for dating the age of aeolian deposits. The !old red sand" is aeolian deposits and the ages of it can be detected by TL technique. In recent years ’coarse quartz TL technique’ and ’regenerative TL technique’ are used to date ages of 39 !old red sand" samples taken from coasts of Guangdong and Fujian. The ages of !old red sand" range from 9 to 68 thousand years denoting that the !old red sand" is aeolian deposits formed in middle and later stages of late Pleistoncene period.更多还原
