Abstract

With the further study on the Cenozoic stratum in the field of stratigraphy at home and abroad, the stratigraphic classification constantly has been updated by the international stratum field since 1996. Up to now, the status of the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic Era is uncertain in the International Stratigraphic Chart (ICS, 2008), which might include Pleistocene, and its age of the bottom limit can go back to about 2.6 MaB.P. Along with the higher international status of Chinese experts on Quaternary research, the advice on the stratigraphic classification of Cenozoic Era will become more and more important.
