报道了发育在南海雷州半岛灯楼角滨珊瑚Ｐｏｒｉｔｅｓ ｌｕｔｅａ的热电离质谱（ＴＩＭＳ）铀系年龄，结果表明，该珊瑚礁坪共有７个年龄组，分别为：（７１２５±９６）， （６７６４±２９），（５８２６±３７），（５００６±５４），（２５４３±２４），（１９１５±１５）和（１５１３±２２）日历年．５０％的珊瑚年龄落在７２００～６６００日历年之间，表明此阶段为珊瑚礁发育的鼎盛期，也是海平面的相对稳定期和气候的最适期． 考虑到：（１）灯楼角礁顶面高出潮高基准面１．６～２．５ｍ；（２）南海现代滨珊瑚生长于潮高基准面至少１．０ｍ以下；（３）珊瑚礁顶部２０～３０ｃｍ礁体已剥蚀；（４）该地区自中全新世以来地壳沉降幅度可忽略不计，我们推断上述７个珊瑚生长年龄组反映了至少两期高海面（７２００～５０００和２５００～１５００日历年），并且高出现代海面至少２．９～３．８ｍ．
(TIMS) uranium age of coral Porites lutea was reported in the Leizhou peninsula of Leizhou Peninsula in South China Sea. The results showed that there were 7 age groups in this coral reef: (7125 ± 96), (6764 ± 29) ), (5826 ± 37), (5006 ± 54), (2543 ± 24), (1915 ± 15) and (1513 ± 22) calendar years. Fifty percent of the coral ages fall between 7200 and 6600 calendar years, suggesting that this phase is the peak of coral reef development and also the relative stability of the sea level and the most suitable climate. Considering that: (1) the top of the lamp house crest is 1.6-2.5m above the tidal height datum; (2) the modern Nanhai coral grows at least 1.0m below the tidal level datum; (3) the top of the coral reef (4) The crustal subsidence has been negligible in the area since the Mid-Holocene, and we conclude that the above seven coral growth age groups reflect at least two high sea levels (7200-5000 and 2500-1500 calendars Year), and higher than the modern sea at least 2.9 ~ 3.8m.
