Abstract
The general history of geomagnetic field reversals during the Cenozoic was well recognized by the beginning of this quadrennial period [Heirtzler et al., 1968]. During the last 4 years, analyses of marine anomalies have contributed not only to the refinement of this time scale but also to an understanding of its statistical importance and to an understanding of the processes with which reversals are recorded by the ocean crust, This report concentrates on the analyses of marine anomalies as directed to these ends and consequently ignores a large volume of work within the realm of its title, for example, the determination of seamount magnetization. Although not discussed in the text, these contributions are documented in the bibliography.
