Cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating is one of the most intensively applied dating methods with which to study glacial geomorphology.Glacial erratics have been the major dating objective in many studies.Some research has proposed that glacial erratics may undergo rollover and re-transportation during the late exposure stage,which can affect the dating results.However,there is no direct evidence to confirm this possibility.In this study,we collected seven samples from a vertical section inside a glacial erratic in the paleo-Daocheng ice cap in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau,measuring their contents of the cosmogenic nuclides 10Be and 26Al.The results show that from the top to the bottom,the concentrations of 10Be were (1.21 ± 0.05) × 106,(1.00 ± 0.02) × 106,(0.88 ± 0.03) × 106,(0.77 ± 0.02) × 106,(0.75 ± 0.03) × 106,(0.95 ±0.03) × 106 and (1.46 ± 0.04) × 106 atoms/g.The 10Be concentrations decreased from (1.21 ± 0.05) × 106 atoms/g to (0.75 ±0.03) × 106 atoms/g and then increased to (1.46 ± 0.04) × 106 atoms/g,which is not consistent with the theoretical prediction of a gradual decrease.This phenomenon indicates that the glacial erratic may have rolled over at least once.The lower surface of the erratic could have been on top at some time in the past.Therefore,its exposure age was greater than the exposure age that was expected,based on its current orientation.This study provides numerical evidence for an erratic rollover event.

霜叶红于二花月rn秋天的彩林是一年中绝对不应该错过的景致之一.绿的、黄的、橙的、红的和紫的……山林一改夏日单调的绿色,毫不吝啬地展现出各种各样的颜色.叶片变色不久便会彻底结束使命,掉落并在地上厚厚地堆积,仿佛为树木在冬天的休眠铺好了床.rn落叶乔木到了秋天叶片为何会变色?其实,这和光合作用有关.树木叶片中的叶绿素通过光合作用给树木制造养分,也给叶片染上了绿色.从春季到夏季,再到初秋,树木叶片会持续合成叶绿素,因此在这一过程中叶片都呈现绿色.
