In the past few years, the increasing number of detailed records of geomagnetic transitions has provided new and important information about the behaviour of the Earth's magnetic field during a reversal. Surprisingly, however, no attempt has been made to obtain information about the evolution of the transitional field characteristics over a long period of time. We report here the results of a palaeomagnetic study of four different geomagnetic reversals, three of which are successive, recorded at different stratigraphical levels of two Upper Tortonian marine clay sections in western Crete (Greece). This sequence represents ~1.5 Myr of geomagnetic field history. The results obtained suggest that the process of reversal from either starting polarity may remain invariant for a long period of time, then change rather abruptly between successive reversals.
