MAGNETIC POLARITY STRATIGRAPHY OF A SERIES OF PLIOCENE AND PLEISTOCENE FOSSIL VERTEBRATE LOCALITIES FROM SOUTHEASTERN AUSTRALIA By Michael J. Whitelaw December 1990 Chairman: Dr. Bruce J. MacFadden Major Department: Geology A series of magnetostratigraphic studies is presented from localities in Victoria and southwestern New South Wales, Australia.

A magnetic polarity stratigraphy extending from the end of the Gilbert Chron (∼ 3.5 Ma) into the Brunhes Chron (0.73 Ma), has been constructed from three partly overlapping sections of an ∼25-m-thick sequence of marine Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments of the Sgourou Formation, Rhodos.

The natural remanent magnetization is carried by detrital maghemite-magnetite phases.

This work presents the results of a magnetostratigraphic survey performed on 1150 m of core material from three sites within the Heidelberg Basin. The cores intersect one of the thickest continuous accumulations of Plio-Pleistocene fluvial sediments in western Central Europe. The resultant magnetic polarity stratigraphy includes every Quaternary polarity chron, thereby providing constant age ...

The relative positions of sections 1, 2, 3A and 3B are determined from lithostratigraphic correlations (see Fig. 2).

All things considered, the application of magnetic polarity stratigraphy on Pliocene and Pleistocene fluvial sediments from the Heidelberg Basin provides a consistent and independent chronology and opens the perspective for global correlations where other approaches hardly come to results. [1]

A series of previous review articles on paleomagnetic polarity stratigraphy has documented the growth of this field and its passage through various stages of development, in which work was concentrated on young lavas, young deep‐sea sediments from piston cores, and red beds (Cox, 1969; Larson and Helsley, 1975; Opdyke, 1972; Harrison, 1974; Irving and Pulliah, 1976; Butler and Opdyke, 1979 ...

A geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged (not to be confused with geographic north and geographic south).The Earth's field has alternated between periods of normal polarity, in which the predominant direction of the field was the same as the present direction, and reverse polarity, in which it ...

The resultant magnetic polarity stratigraphy includes every Quaternary polarity chron, thereby providing constant age constraint down to the Gauss-Matuyama Boundary (2.58 Ma). Older deposits cannot be unequivocally dated; instead, various age-depth models are discussed.

The magnetic polarity stratigraphy from a lacustrine sequence of the Baza Basin (Betic Chain, Southern Spain) has been interpreted as having a Lower Pleistocene age.

ODP Sites 1090 and 1092, in the sub-antarctic South Atlantic, yielded 400m of Middle Eocene to Late Miocene sediments that record a magnetic polarity stratigraphy. The record is partly coeval with the classic Paleogene-Oligocene Contessa sections pub- lished by Lowrie et al. in 1982. The polarity record can be interpreted by fit of the po- larity zone pattern to the geomagnetic polarity timescale.

In this paper, we present a new magnetic polarity stratigraphy for a 3560 m thick sedimentary column of Lower and Middle Siwaliks exposed along the Karnali River (KR). The measured column is part of the > 4000 m thick continuous sequence exposed north of Chisapani (28°39'N, 81°17'E) on the East-West Highway in western Nepal ( Fig. 1 ).

Three fission-track (zircon) dates from the Big Sandy Formation yielded a mean age of 5.5 ± 0.2 m.y. B.P. Using these radiometric data to calibrate the magnetic polarity zonation, it appears that the Big Sandy Formation spans late Epoch 6 to early Gilbert time (late Miocene to early Pliocene).

5. Magnetic polarity stratigraphy and correlation to the timescale The magnetic polarity stratigraphy of Fisherman's Cliff is characterized by a short reversed zone (sites 100 and 101) which occurs at the base of the cliff in the Moorna Formation. This is overlain by a zone of normal polarity which extends up through the remainder of the section.

differences exist in the magnetic polarity zonations from the two studies. While the magnetic polarity zonation appears to be similar around the Olduvai subchron, there is a consistent 20–25 m offset between the two records relative to the sapropel stratigraphy (Fig. 2). Zijderveld et al. (1991) and Lourens et al. (1996b) discuss these
