Abstract: This paper is focused on discussing the Pleistocene stratigraphic division, mammal fossil and Late Pleistocene environment based on the analysis of faunas, sedimentary features, sporopollen assemblages and dating.
The sequence of deposits exposed in Fujian Province, termed the Pleistocene, is less than 50m thick. The deposits can be subdivided into several formations as the following table:
At least 53 species of mammalian fossils were collected from Jiandaoqian Formation, and the extinct species are 14% of the total; 48 species of mammalian fossils have been known from Hucun Formation and the extinct species are 8% of the total. Two mammalian faunas belonging to Ailuropoda-Stegodon Fauna" in southern China.
The sporopollen assemblages prove that it was mixed forest in northeast coastal area, forest grassland in central coastal area during 110-40 kaBP; and temperate grassland in both during 40-12 kaBP. At Last Pleistocene, it was steady state of evergreen broad-leaved trees in west region of the central part, and parkland in south coastal area. That was effective factor for early man activities.
