A synthetic diagram
related the well-dated sections in the eastern Nihewan
Basin northern China, which contain early Pleistocene mammalian
faunas and/or Paleolithic sites, to the geomagnetic polarity time scale (GPTS)
(Berggren et al., 1995). Data sources of the lithostratigraphy and
magnetostratigraphy: Donggutuo (Li and Wang, 1982; Wang et al., 2005) and Maliang
(Wang et al., 2005), Feiliang (Deng et al., 2007), Xiaochangliang (Zhu et al.,
2001), Xiantai (Deng et al., 2006), MJG and Banshan (Zhu et al., 2004), Haojiatai
(Zhu et al., 2004), Donggou (Zhu et al., 2001), Hongya
and Huabaogou (Deng et al., 2008). B/M,
