Abstract
We present a detailed magnetostratigraphic study of the upper part of the Mytilini Formation (Marker Tuffs and Main Bone Beds) of Samos Island (Greece). Seven successive polarity zones have been identified and a correlation with the geomagnetic polarity time scale has established that the sediments of this section were accumulated between 5.7 and 6.8 Ma. According to these results the upper mammalian fossiliferous levels are found within the reversed polarity zone lying in the time interval 6.1–6.4 Ma.
