To construct a geomagnetic time scale, the two correct pieces of information needed are:

  1. The magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth
  2. The age of rocks along the surface of Earth

These two factors are essential for determining the changes in Earth's magnetic field over time and correlating those changes with geological time.
