Japan researchers to seek to have Chiba stratum represent geologic age

Photo taken April 25, 2017, shows a stratum in Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture, where evidence of the last geomagnetic reversal occurring 770,000 years ago was found preserved in good condition. Based on this stratum, Japanese researchers will file an application in May 2017 with an international geological organization to have the name "Chibanian" represent the middle Pleistocene stage.
