| Abstract | The Bohai Strait connects the Bohai Sea with the Yellow Sea, allowing material and energy exchange between the seas. The sedimentary record in this region is important for reconstructing the Quaternary sea-level changes and environmental evolution in the Bohai Sea area; however, long sedimentary sequences with a reliable chronological framework from this area are scarce. We assessed the sedimentary characteristics, grain size, microfossils, accelerator mass spectrometry 14C ages and optically stimulated luminescence ages of core BHS01 from the Bohai Strait. From these and previous paleomagnetic results, new insights into regional sea-level changes and environmental evolution in the Bohai Strait over the last 2.25 Myr are obtained. The sedimentology and environmental proxies (benthic foraminifera and marine ostracods) indicate that the sedimentary environment of the area around core BHS01 was mainly dominated by fluvial-lacustrine deposits from 2.25 to 0.89 Ma, and subsequently by alternating marine and fluvial deposits. Comparative analyses of the chronological and sedimentary results of core BHS01 with previous drilling records in the eastern marginal seas of China revealed that the Quaternary initial marine transgression of the Bohai Sea occurred no later than 0.89 Ma (latest early Pleistocene) since Quaternary. The initial transgression presumably resulted from the partial subsidence and disintegration of the Miaodao Islands Uplift with sea-level rise during this period or slightly earlier. This result is generally consistent with the timing of the Quaternary regional marine transgressive processes of the Yellow and Bohai seas; thus, we propose a conceptual model in which the first marine transgression of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea during the Quaternary occurred no later than 1.66 Ma and 0.89 Ma, respectively. This study provides new evidence for understanding the Quaternary sea-level changes and regional environmental evolution in the Bohai Sea. |
