Abstract

Based on heavy mineral analysis of the shallow drilling (WHZK01) with a hole length of 25.1 m from the muddy area in the southern Weihai coast, the main mineral type of Core WHZK01 is hornblende (22.1%), magnetite (20.0%) and epidote (17.7%), three mineral assemblage units can be divided since the Late Pleistocene. (1) Fluvial facies (DU3, late MIS3) has a hornblende-epidote assemblage; (2) flood plain and estuarine faces (DU2, early MIS1) has a hornblende-epidote-ilmenite-limonite assemblage; (3) nearshore and shallow marine facies(DU1, Holocene) has a magnetite-epidote-micas-authigenic pyrite assemblage. Source identification indicates that the sediments of DU3 and DU2 are all from coastal rivers of the southern Shandong Peninsula. The sediments of DU1 are derived largely from the Yellow River transported by the coastal current, and are also influenced slightly by the coast rivers and island erosions.
