Quaternary Glacial Deposits and Their ESR Dating Results on the South Slopes of the Ayilariju Mountains, Tibet Autonomous Region

There are four sets of Quaternary glacial deposits along the south and north slopes and the valleys of the Ayilariju Mountains in north of Zhada basin, Tibet Autonomous Region. The ESR dating results of them are 1161～730 ka BP, 319～336 ka BP, 211 ka BP and 105～15 ka BP. These results show that the ages of the four sets of glacial deposits along the south slopes of the Ayilariju Mountains should correspond to the late epoch of the early Pleistocene, the middle and late epochs of the middle Pleistocene, the late epoch of the middle Pleistocene and the Last Glaciation in the southern Tibetan Plateau.
