This suggests, but does not prove, that the peaks in environmental magnetic record represent interglacial periods.
And is consistent with ARM/IRM data because higher values of ARM/IRM
are usually interpreted as finer magnetic grains.

Because we have a • a magnetostratigraphic record• an orbital parameter record• a paleointensity record
Eltanin 27-21 could be the Rosetta Stone for
other studies of old cores from the Ross Sea sector.
![Page 21: Luigi Jovane 1,2 , Kenneth L. Verosub 1 , Fabio Florindo 2 and Gary Acton 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568149bb550346895db6f326/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Environmental magnetic data from 40-year old Eltanin core 27-17 clearly show that paleoclimatic processes were dominated by ~40 kyr cyclicity prior to the mid-Pleistocene transition and by ~100 kyr cyclicity afterward.
We don’t fully understand the nature of the signal but our working hypothesis is that peaks in the environmental magnetic record correspond to interglacials.
CONCLUSIONS
(For funding agencies.) If a 40-year old core can still produce exciting science so can a scientist after a 40-year career.
So don’t throw out your old cores or your old scientists.
