My reason for asking this specific question is a result of a research 
paper that I need to do. It is rather general about Geomagnetic reversals 
and i have researched this thoroughly, however, one question that I simply 
cannot find information about is how geomagnetic reversals have an impact 
on age dating the oceanic crust? Would you be able to assist me in finding 
this answer?
