The palaeomagnetism of Holocene sediments from central Lake Erie is documented by measurements of inclination, declination, intensity, susceptibility and saturation remanence. Several complete oscillations in declination are recorded as in the postglacial sediments of Lake Michigan. These oscillations should prove useful as regional time-stratigraphic markers from core to core. They may also represent equal intervals of time, although chronologic control is insufficient to either prove or disprove the inference. Late Wisconsinan sediments from our two longest cores (lengths 18 m and 27 m) recorded a geomagnetic excursion, named the Erieau Excursion, which extends from about 14,000 yr B.P. into the earliest postglacial sediments.
