Sun et al. (2007) constructed a magnetostratigraphic record of the Kuitun River section (Xinjiang Province, China) and reinterpreted a magnetostratigraphic record from the same section previously published by Charreau et al. (2005). In this paper, we show that Sun et al. miscorrelated their column with respect to that of Charreau et al. A compatible correlation, recognized by both sides, is presented.
