Abstract:  Two reversal geomagnetic excursions are detected by systematically paleomagnetic measurements of the Core NP93-2 from the Prydz Bay, Eastern Antarctica. One is found in 60 to 67.5 cm from the top of the core, and the 14C dating age of layer 67.5 cm to 72.5cm is 10315±800 a B.P. It is estimated that the geomagnetic excursion occurred at 9980~8880 a B.P., and perhaps was the record of the Gothenburg geomagnetic excursion (about 12000 a B.P.). The other is found in ...  (to read more please go to the download link)
