Scientific paper

Evidence for Plio-Pleistocene lavas from two Pacific hot spots is presented which suggests that the process of polarity reversal of the earth's magnetic field involves the development of specific quasi-stationary transitional field configurations which recur over time spans of perhaps several million yrs. Tests for dynamo family dominance are developed in terms of paleodirections as well as their corresponding virtual geomagnetic poles.
