The Bailushan profile near the Zhujiakan towns, Longjiang county,Hei-longjiang province, was a model profile of Lower pleistocene strata in the Northeast China. The profile was named "The Baitushan Formation" in 1959. Afterwards "The Baitushan Ice Age"has been built according to the viewpoint of glacial and fluvial deposit of this strata.In fact, the Baitushan formation strata have characteristics of alluvial and proluvial facies,and constitute a series of fossil alluvial-proluvial fan landforms in the east foot of the Daxinganling mountain range. The components of clay mineral are mainly halloysite, and contain montmorillonite. Spore-pollen assemblage is mainly characterized by xerophyte wormwood, lamb’squarters and so on, thus the paleo-vegetation belongs to grassland landscape. Above mentioned facts indicate that the Baitushan formation strata is sediment of alluvial and proluvial facies under warm and dry climatic environments, but not glacial and fluvioglacial deposit. Therefore, there is not so called "The Baitushan Ice Age".
