Resumen

Se reporta información paleomagnética de tres secciones sedimentarias de la misma localidad en el oeste de California (EE.UU.). Las direcciones del magnetismo remanente natural (MRN) obtenidas en 61 especímenes orientados de tres muestreos detallados, mostraron que algunos registraron componentes magnéticas diferentes a las del campo geomagnético normal actual. La magnetización remanente característica (MRC) fue determinada por desmagnetización progresiva térmica y por campos alternos. El análisis de las muestras indicó que éstas registraron MRC de polaridad oblicua normal, oblicua reversa y reversa durante el Holoceno Medio. Los VGP transicionales muestran algunas coincidencias con los registrados durante el Holoceno Temprano y Medio en México central y los de la posible excursión observada en otras áreas de los Hemisferios norte y sur.
