The paleoforest remains studied are distributed within a range of 18000 m 2 in the intertidal zone of the Qianhu Bay, Fujian Province. Eighty‐nine ancient tree stumps can be clearly recognized in the paleoforest remains. Microscopic studies of 10 relatively low‐carbonized stump samples definitely showed four species: Glyptostrobus pensili (Staunt) Kouch, Schima superba Gardn., Cinnamomum Schaeffer, and Litsea Lam. The 14 C dating of some samples yielded the ages of 42560±350 to >43000 a B. P., corresponding to the late Late Pleistocene.
