Utilizing Ar-40/Ar-39 plateau ages for selected field reversals at about 1, 2, 10, 16, and 34 Ma, a geomagnetic polarity time scale (GPTS) is constructed, following the technique of Cande and Kent (1992). This differs markedly from previous GPTS, especially in middle-late Miocene time; the ages for the chrons in post-Miocene time are in agreement with values derived by the astrochronological technique. Refinements in this GPTS await acquisition of Ar-40/Ar-39 plateau ages for field reversals in the time frames 3-8 Ma and 11-15 Ma.
