摘　　要：基于底栖有孔虫δ18O的精确的年代标尺是古海洋学研究的基础 ,特别是长度超过 5Ma ,分辨率小于 5ka的连续δ18O记录在全球大洋深海记录中更是凤毛麟角 .在大西洋和东太平洋已经建立起了类似的代表性剖面 ,如大西洋ODP6 5 9站和东太平洋ODP84 6站 ,但在对全球气候有着重要影响的“西太平洋暖池区”还没有建立起这样的剖面 .以南海大洋钻探184航次 114 3站底栖有孔虫的δ18O为材料 ,建立了西太平洋地区跨越 5Ma、分辨率达 2～ 3ka的天文年代标尺 .天文调谐的基本原理参照Imbrieetal.( 1984 ) ,并将斜率周期上 8ka的相位差和岁差周期上 5ka的相位差从晚更新世扩展到 5Ma ;调谐目标选用Laskar( 1990 )的斜率和岁差 ;调谐方法采用了有别于ODP6 5 9站和ODP84 6站的自动轨道调谐方法 (YuandDing ,1998) .调谐结果显示 ,114 3站 190 .77m、191个冰期、间冰期的深海沉积记录了 5 .0 2Ma的南海古海洋学历史 ;114 3站布容 /松山磁性反转事件的年龄为 0 .78Ma ,与前人研究结果一致 ;15个识别出的浮游有孔虫生物事件年龄部分与已经发表过的年龄相吻合 ,部分为该生物事件在南沙海区的新年龄 .由年代标尺推导出的南海沉积特征显示 ,2 .9Ma是沉积速率的一个转折点 ,在此之前 ,平均线性沉积速率只有 3 9.5m/Ma ,冰期、间?An accurate timescale derived from benthic foraminiferal δ18O is crucial to paleoceanographic studies. In global oceans, there are few continuous δ18O records for the benthic foraminifers which span the past 5 Ma and have time resolution better than 5 ka. Such representative profiles have been established for ODP Site 659 in the Atlantic and ODP Site 846 in the east Pacific, but still have been absent in the Western Pacific Warm Pool, an area playing an important role in global climate changes. Based on the benthic foraminiferal δ18O of ODP Site 1143 in the southern South China Sea, we establish a 5 Ma astronomical timescale for the west Pacific Plio-Pleistocene, with a time resolution of -2-3 ka. The phases are fixed at 8 ka and 5 ka for the obliquity and precession bands respectively, and have been applied throughout the whole records. Obliquity and precession are calculated and treated as the tuning targets. An automatic orbital tuning method has been applied in this study, which is more efficient than those used at ODP Site 659 and 846. The results show that the 190.77 m long deep sea sediments in the South China Sea have recorded a paleoceanographic history of -5.02 Ma, corresponding to 191 glacial/interglacial cycles. The tuned Brunhes/Matuyama paleomagnetic polarity reversal agrees well with an age of 0.78 Ma dated previously. The tuned ages for several planktonic foraminifer bio-events also agree well with published dates, and new ages for some other bio-events in the South China Sea are also estimated. The sedimentation rates calculated from this new timescale indicate that 2.9 Ma is a threshold for the sedimentation rate in the location of Site 1143. Before this time, the average sedimentation rate is -39.5 m/Ma, with a small amplitude of -50 m/Ma. After this time, the average sedimentation rate jumped to -65.4 m/Ma, with an amplitude as large as 200 m/Ma. In addition, the sedimentation rates in the southern South China Sea were higher during glacials or stadials but lower during interglacials or int
