摘要
The Laschamp Geomagnetic Excursion (ca. 41 ka) and a related increase of cosmogenic nuclides provides a global tie point among sedimentary and ice core records. In the Wilson Creek Formation, Mono Lake, California, the Laschamp Excursion has not been recognized although the so-called Mono Lake excursion was found in the section with an estimated age of about 28 C-14 ka. However, our reevaluation of the age of the Mono Lake excursion at its type locality using new C-14 dates on carbonates and 40Ar/39Ar sanidine dates on ash layers yields an estimate of 38-41 ka. This chronology and the absence of a second excursion in the Wilson Creek Formation suggest that the distinct paleomagnetic feature with negative inclinations at Mono Lake is correlative with the Laschamp Excursion.
