A geomagnetic anomaly consisting of three clearly defined periods of reverse polarity separated by two short intervals of normal polarity has been documented in a loess section near Xining, western China. On the basis of previous studies of Chinese loess stratigraphy, we correlate this geomagnetic polarity episode with the Blake event. While more research is needed to improve our understanding of the exact process of remanence acquisition of loess deposits, this study shows that loess may provide records of fast geomagnetic events and lends further support to the global nature of the Blake geomagnetic event.
