The results indicate that the grain-size distribution pattern of the Miocene loess is essentially similar to that of Quaternary loess, but greatly differs from the lacustrine and fluvial sediments. Loess layers are regularly coarser than soil layers, indicating cyclical climate changes. Median grain-size along the 253.1 m sequence varies from 6 to 13 μm and the >63 μm fraction represents only 5.3% in maximum, 0.9% in average. Long-term grain-size variations are consistent with the loess accumulation rate at Qinan and with the eolian mass accumulation rate in the North Pacific. These features firmly indicate an eolian origin of the studied sequence, and also reveal a coeval changes between the long-term changes of eolian grain-size and continental aridity in the dust source regions.展开更多
