Deep-tow vector magnetic data have been acquired across the fast-spreading southern East Pacific Rise 18S and inverted to magnetization intensity variations. Vector magnetic data are used to determine continuous magnetic intensity within intervals of constant polarity over the Matuyama and Brunhes periods up to the Cobb Mountain event at 1.19 Ma. A comparison of our deep-tow vector data and a sediment core-derived geomagnetic paleointensity timescale suggests that the short-wavelength magnetic anomaly signal is indeed of geomagnetic origin and can be used to date the seafloor with a high resolution. The crustal age determined from our date reveals a highly asymmetric spreading rate for the recent period (since 0.3 Ma).
