The M1 excitations in the nuclide 90Zr have been studied in a photon-scattering experiment with monoenergetic and linearly polarized beams from 7 to 11 MeV. More than 40 Ji^pi = 1+ states have been identified from observed ground-state transitions, revealing the fine structure of the giant M1 resonance with a centroid energy of 9 MeV and a sum strength of 4.17(56) mu_N^2 . The result for the total M1 strength and its fragmentation are discussed in the framework of the three-phonon quasiparticle-phonon model.
