Reverse magnetic polarization of rocks "in situ" is a phenomenon which has been observed and reported by several workers since its discovery by Brunhes (1906) in baked clays and adjacent basalts of Miocene age in Central France. Earlier, Folgheraiter (1899) had noticed the reverse polarization of fragments of ancient pottery discovered in Central Italy and he had concluded from this observation that the earth’s magnetic field was probably temporarily reversed from its present direction in this part of the world during Recent times.
