The Cretaceous Quiet Zone, also known as the Cretaceous Normal Superchron (CNS, 121.4~83.6 Myr), represents the most extreme geomagnetic field behavior in the geological history. Study of the characteristics of the geomagnetic field during the CNS is of great significance for understanding the abnormal changes of the physical and chemical processes in the Earth’s interior, such as the movement of the outer core fluid, the heat flux regime across the core-mantle boundary and patterns of mantle convection. Therefore, this paper systematically reviewed and summarized the previous research work related to short reversed-polarity events during CNS from the perspective of polarity reversal. The following main conclusions and views are obtained: the marine sediments, volcanic rocks and terrestrial sediments together indicates that at least seven reported reversed-polarity events or clusters of events might have happened within the CNS, including the Middle-Late Aptian (M“-1r” or “ISEA”), Late Aptian-Early Albian (~113.3 Myr), Middle Albian (M“-2r” set?), Late Albian (M“-3r” set?), Late Cenomanian (~96 Myr), Late Turonian and Late Coniacian-Early Santonian, which presents global synchroneity and a periodicity of 4~6 Myr. However, given the problems and uncertainties in paleomagnetic sampling and measurement methods, stratigraphic dating, possible remagnetization and rock magnetic analysis, the authenticity of polarity reversal events during the CNS and their occurrence time, frequency and duration are still controversial. Meanwhile, the short reversed-polarity events as a new constraint condition for the numerical simulation of the geodynamo can contribute to more scientifically revealing the unique dynamic change process in the Earth’s interior during the CNS and the internal genetic relationship with the global geologic events in the mid-Cretaceous. In the future, the integrated high-resolution magnetostratigraphic and geochronologic researches in the Cretaceous long-term scale, as well as the fine rock magnetic analyses of the reversed-polarity zones, is the key to accurately constrain the occurrence regularity of short polarity reversal events during the CNS.
