JM: A few corrections and clarifications here. Personally, the idea that reversals occur every half a million years makes it sound as though they have some regular periodicity, they do not. For example, the Kiaman Revered interval and the Cretaceous Long Normal interval are both extended time periods when the field was stable. Secondly, TC has a rather myopic view of magnetism that is focused solely on the intensity fluctuations on the ocean floor. He ignores all the physics behind the reversals and the ocean floor structure itself and the corroborating sections on land. It needs to be hammered into his head that if he wants his hypothesis to be taken seriously, he must develop a coherent hypothesis that fits all the observations, but I think his main goal is simply to argue without regard to the details.

First, in defence of TC (don't hold your breath for this to happen
again) he was NOT putting these forward as OLD EARTH proofs. He
wanted a list of THAT KIND to spark debate with.
Perhaps you should read the context of a post before assaulting ?
To TC::
One or two of the links I posted ARE lists of evidences.
