Abstract
A palaeomagnetic study has been carried out on the type Harwich Formation and basal London Clay Formation in the Ispwich area of East Anglia. Both units were deposited during the middle part of geomagnetic Chron C24r. The normal polarity magnetization previously identified in the upper part of the Harwich Formation at Wrabness (Townsend & Hailwood 1985, Journal of the Geological Society; London, 142, 1-27), and called the 'Oldhaven magnetozone' by these author, is now regarded as a recent overprint. The new information is critical in linking the Paleocene-Eocene boundary to NW Europe where the internationally recognized early Eocene Ypresian stage stratotype is defined.link_to_subscribed_fulltexKeywords
