Abstract

A reversal of the palaeomagnetic field is recorded in exposed lake sediments at Long Valley and Mono Basin in east-central California. The reversal is estimated to be several thousand years long and 280 000 years old. The chronology is based on correlation of volcanic ash beds at Long Valley and Mono Basin with ones at Summer Lake, Oregon, and correlation of ash beds at Summer Lake with ash beds in a core at Tulelake, California, where age control is provided by tephrochronology and magnetostratigraphy.
