- Summary
- Chapter
Keywords:
- sedimentary rock magnetization, processes and interpretation;
- best sedimentary rocks for paleomagnetism, the fine grained;
- red sedimentary rocks, red shales/sandstones, for paleomagnetic studies;
- fine-grained sediments measured, and continuous sedimentation rate;
- field tests for stability/age of remanence, critical to paleomagnetics;
- component removed prior rock demagnetization or the Curie temperature, ChRM;
- multi-component magnetizations in Mississippian Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania;
- thermal demagnetization becoming problematic, IRMs difficult to remove;
- demagnetization is completed and ChRM and Graham's fold test;
- paleomagnetic directions in rock, VRM and inaccuracy in paleomagnetic
