Based on the data of lithology, spore and pollen, micropaleontology and C~(14) age dating of the CK_(42) drilling on the east side of the Dalinghe River and the CK_(33) drilling on the west side of the Dalinghe estuary, this paper preliminarily studies the stratigraphy, sediments and its characteristics of Quaternary, the marine deposition horizons and transgressive features since late Quaternary. The main charateristics of stratigra-phy of Quaternary is that the thickness of sediment accreted gradually from the northwest to the southeast, with the thickness of sediment reaching 302m in the CK_(40) drilling of Nanjingzi in the farthest southeast and the thickness of sediment becoming thinner and thinner from early period to late period. The data of CK_(42) drilling showed that the thickness of sediment is 61.46m of early Pleistocene series, 56.31m of middle Pleistocene series, 42.97m of late Pleistocene series and 35.14m of Holocene series. The types of contributing, factor of sediments of Quaternary are mainly fluvioglacial accumulation, alluvial proluvium, limnological accumulation, alluvium, marine deposition and aeolian deposition etc., The grain size of sediments changed from coarse to fine and the structure of horizon changed from single layer to multilayers from the northwest to the southeast. Three transgressions took place and resulted in 3 marine horizons of transgression in this area since late Pleistocene.
