Timing of Quaternary geomagnetic reversals and excursions in volcanic and sedimentary archives
2020, Quaternary Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :The Gilsa excursion (Fig. 8) derives its name from a river in Iceland, where nearby lavas recorded normal polarity that had poorly constrained K-Ar ages of ∼1.6 Ma (McDougall and Wensink, 1966; Watkins et al., 1975). Subsequent 40Ar/39Ar dating of several normally magnetized flows in the Icelandic lava sections studied by McDougall and Wensink (1966) revealed that they most probably record the Olduvai and Réunion subchrons, not the Gilsa subchron (Wijbrans and Langereis, 2003). The contemporary use of this label for a magnetic excursion of similar age comes from the observation of an excursion at DSDP Site 609 within MIS 53 at ∼1550 ka (Clement and Kent, 1987; Ruddiman et al., 1989).
High northern geomagnetic field behavior and new constraints on the Gilsá event: Paleomagnetic and <sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar results of ∼0.5–3.1 Ma basalts from Jökuldalur, Iceland
2016, Earth and Planetary Science LettersCitation Excerpt :The total age range of the eleven new 40Ar/39Ar ages (Figs. 2, 3) covered by sites TH17 to HN3 is ∼0.63–3.13 Ma. This age range broadly concurs with the chronostratigraphy established by Udagawa et al. (1999) and McDougall and Wensink (1966). However, important deviations occur, particularly in section KG; the type section for the Gilsá event (Udagawa et al., 1999) (see Discussion).

2014, Quaternary GeochronologyCitation Excerpt :K–Ar dating of lava flows in northeast Iceland led McDougall and Wensink (1966) to propose that a short normal polarity event occurred 1610 ± 50 ka. A concerted search based on 40Ar/39Ar dating of several normally magnetized flows in the Icelandic lava sections studied by McDougall and Wensink (1966) later revealed that they most probably record the Olduvai and Réunion subchrons, not the Gilsa subchron (Wijbrans and Langereis, 2003). Thus, a lava flow recording of the Gilsa subchron has yet to be verified through 40Ar/39Ar dating.
