Abstract
Summary The declination of characteristic magnetization has been used to determine the polarity changes in two volcano-sedimentary sequences exposed in the Lake Natron basin. Radiometric dating and biostratigraphic data allow us to link the magnetostratigraphy to the standard geomagnetic polarity time scale. In the Lake Natron palaeomagnetic record, the Matuyama Epoch is well defined, possibly including the Olduvai Event (1.87–1.67 Ma). Other normal polarity zones have to be considered cautiously.
