摘要:	Volcanic glasses with minor mafic mineral fragments, such as biotite and hornblende, found in deep-sea sediments of the South China Sea Basin (SCSB) have been clearly identified as eruptive products of the Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT), northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The tephra layer occurs between marine oxygen isotopic event 5.1 (79.3ka) and event 4.22 (64.1ka), with an interpolated age of 74.0ka, which is in good consistence with previous radiometric dating (73-75ka) and ice-core dating (71+/-5ka) of the YTT. The tephra consists predominantly of bubble-wall shards with minor elongated vesicles of pumice fragments. Geochemical characteristics of the tephra, such as high total alkali content, high 87Sr/86Sr ratio and uniformity of their compositions, all suggest that the recovered tephra is of the Youngest Toba Tuff. This finding supports an extended dispersal of coarse (>63m) glass shards over 1500km northeast of the Toba caldera, a direction opposite to what previously conceived. While providing a better documentation of the distribution extent of the Toba ash, this report points to the need to re-estimating the eruptive volume of the YTT and re-evaluating its environmental impact.
