Relict and modern sediments on the continental shelf of the northern South China Sea: a reconsideration by Wang, Yuming, Chen, Xiaohong, Switzer, Adam D., Li, Linlin, Xu, Yang, Wang, Yukun, Zhang, Peizhen

“…The sedimentology and geochemistry of the relict sediments imply that they were deposited in a dry and cold environment either during the low sea levels of the late Pleistocene (∼40 ka) or the early Holocene (∼10 ka). To the east, the Taiwan Shoal and vicinity are dominated by a sand mixture, at which the relict sediments were reworked by terrigenous supply and modern hydrodynamic environment due to the compound action of the Guangdong Longshore Current, seasonal cyclones, and Kuroshio Intrusion. …”
