Abstract: | In a sediment sequence from Erlongwan maar lake that spans the last 13 ka BP, two main varve types can be recognized: biogenic
varves (from the present to ∼11.2 ka BP, 0–632 cm) and clastic varves (from ∼11.2 to ∼12.7 ka BP, 632–700 cm). Based on the
dominant types of algae contained in the sediment, the biogenic varves can be classified into dinocyst-biogenic varves (0–63
cm) and mixed (dinocyst and diatom)-biogenic varves (214–632 cm). In this paper, the formation process and components of the
varve are described, the possible reason for the types of varve changing throughout the record is discussed and a high-resolution
varve chronology is established spanning the last 13 ka BP. Although further varve counting and error assessment are needed,
the results presented here represent a solid foundation for studying the palaeoclimate record of Erlongwan maar lake.
