Several reversed polarity magnetozones occur within deep-sea sediment core CH57-8 from the Greater Antilles Outer Ridge, within sediment of latest Pleistocene/Late Brunhes age. The uppermost reversed interval spanning 31 data points coincides with the X faunal zone of the Last Interglacial Period. Radiochemical dating of cores CH57-8 and KN25-4 has shown that all the reversed polarity magnetozones are significantly younger than the Brunhes/Matuyama boundary at 0.7 m.y. B.P. A variation of the excess 230Th method was used, in which 210Po and 238U were the actual radionuclides measured. In a third core from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, our 210Po results were similar to those which others obtained earlier by direct 230Th measurements.
