Stratigraphy of a Sediment Core Collected from the NE Equatorial Pacific Using Reversal Patterns of Geomagnetic Field and Be Isotope Ratio

Abstract: A 570 cm-long sediment core was retrieved at 9 o 57'N and 131 o 42'W in 5,080 m water depth from the northeast equatorial Pacific and its stratigraphy was established with 10 Be/ 9 Be and paleomagnetic measurements. Successive AF demagnetization reveals eight geomagnetic field reversals. In the reference geologic time scale, the eight reversal events correspond to an age of about 4.5 Ma. However, 10 Be/ 9 Bebased age yields 9.5 Ma at a depth of 372 cm. Such a large discrepancy in determined ages is attributed … Show more
