摘要

The Blake excursion was among the first recognized with directional and intensity behavior known mainly from marine sediment and Chinese loess. Age estimates for the directional shifts in sediments are poorly constrained to about 118-100 ka, i.e., at the marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e/5d boundary. Moreover, sediments at Lac du Bouchet maar, France and along the Portuguese margin reveal what may be a "post-Blake" excursion at about 105-95 ka. The excursional directions are associated with a prominent paleointensity minimum between about 125 and 95 ka in global stacked records. Lava flow recordings of the Blake excursion(s) have, however, been questionable because precise ages required for correlation with these sediment records are lacking. To establish new, independent records of the Blake excursion, and link these into a larger Quaternary GITS, we have undertaken ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar incremental heating and unspiked K-Ar experiments on groundmass from the transitionally magnetized Inzolfato flow on Lipari Island. We also obtained ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar incremental heating results for a lava flow on Amsterdam Island originally thought to record the Mono Lake excursion and from the transitionally magnetized El Calderon basalt flow, New Mexico that was K-Ar dated by Champion et al. (1988) at 128±66 ka. Unspiked K-Ar ages of four samples from the Inzolfato flow are 102.5±4.7, 101.3±3.3, 97.1±2.6, and 96.8±3.1 ka and thus indistinguishable from one another. ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar results are more complex, with three samples yielding discordant age spectra. Based on incremental heating data obtained in both the UW-Madison and Gif-sur-Yvette ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar laboratories, a fourth sample yields six concordant age plateaus and a weighted mean age of 105.2±1.4 ka that we take as the best estimate of time since the flow erupted. Five ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar incremental heating experiments on the Amsterdam Island lava yield a plateau age of 120±12 ka, whereas ages from two sites in the Calderon flow are 112±23 and 101±14 ka, together giving a weighted mean of 104±12 ka. The age of 120±12 ka from Amsterdam Island, though imprecise, correlates with the Blake excursion. In contrast, the 104e105 ka age obtained from both Lipari and New Mexico indicates that these lavas record a younger period of dynamo instability, most probably associated with the post-Blake excursion. These radioisotopic ages are consistent with the astronomical ages of two paleointensity minima in the PISO-1500 global stack. Our findings indicate that the Blake and post-Blake excursions are both global features of past geodynamo behavior and support the hypothesis that Brunhes chron excursions are temporally clustered into two groups of at least a half-dozen each spanning over 220 to 30 ka and 720 to 520 ka.
