Resumo: | We present a 2.14-Myr astronomically tuned relative geomagnetic paleointensity record from the western Philippine Sea. Pseudosingle-domain titanomagnetite is the only magnetic mineral identified and variations in titanomagnetite concentration fall well within the accepted limits for relative paleointensity variations. No significant temporally persistent periodicities are observed in wavelet analyses of the paleointensity time series or in the rock magnetic parameters used for relative paleointensity normalization. This suggests that our paleointensity record is largely free of rock magnetic or lithological artefacts and that it represents a reliable record of geomagnetic behavior with no evidence for modulation of the field at Earth orbital periods. The paleointensity record is highly coherent with the Sint-800 global paleointensity stack for the last 800 kyr and with a coeval record from the West Caroline Basin. Our record confirms that it is normal for the geomagnetic field to undergo dynamic changes within polarity intervals, with relatively frequent collapses of the field to low paleointensities and concomitant deviations away from the stable field direction. We do not observe an asymmetrical sawtooth form in our paleointensity record, which might suggest that previously observed asymmetrical sawtooth paleointensities result from rock magnetic artefacts. Also, we do not observe a persistent 100-kyr inclination periodicity, in contrast to the suggestion that geomagnetic field directions are modulated by orbital eccentricity. Good agreement between our paleointensity record and the coeval West Caroline Basin record provides the beginning of a detailed view of geomagnetic field behavior between 0.8 and 2.14 Ma.
