Annual mean data from worldwide magnetic observatories show that there was a jerk (step-change in the second time derivative) in the geomagnetic field, which took place over an interval of less than 2 yr around 1970. If such a short-lived phoenomenon originated in the earth's core, and was still detectable after passing through the mantle to the surface, this would imply a much lower conductivity for the lower mantle than had been believed previously. Here it is shown by an objective test that most of the jerk has an internal origin.
