N2 - The results of geomagnetic paleointensity determinations from two sections of sedimentary rocks (Chauda and Eldari sections in Georgia) are presented. These sections record the Late Tvera-Tvera, Tvera-Gilbert, and Jaramillo-Matuyama geomagnetic reversals, as well as stable intervals of the Tvera and late Matuyama subchrons. The Kamikatsura global event and an excursion are identified in a stable interval of the late Matuyama subchron recorded in the Chauda section. It was established that, irrespective of the direction (N → R or R → N) and even the class of the phenomenon (reversal, event, or excursion), all of the geomagnetic polarity transitions show common features in the behavior of paleointensity.
