Quaternary high latitude magnetostratigraphy
Magnetostratigraphic dating of Quaternary sediments is in general exclusively based on the identification of the Brunhesl Matuyama boundary and the Jaramillo and Olduvai Subchrons within the Matuyama Chron. Mounting evidence suggests, however, that short excursions or reversal events of the earth...

Magnetostratigraphic dating of Quaternary sediments is in general exclusively based on the identification of the Brunhesl Matuyama boundary and the Jaramillo and Olduvai Subchrons within the Matuyama Chron.

Although absolute age, duration and global synchronism of these features remain a matter of controversy, they are potentially very useful in establishing high resolution Quaternary stratigraphies.
