Abstract
Records of the low field magnetic susceptibility at three sites in the Chinese Loess Plateau, each with sediments covering the last 2·5 Ma, were averaged and combined into a single stacked file whose dating is independent of astronomic chronology. The stack reveals orbital frequencies, which are in general agreement with the astronomically tuned oxygen isotope deep sea chronology in the upper part of the Brunhes epoch, but disagree prior to 0·5 Ma ago.
