Abstract:Obtaining a reliable characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) from volcanic rock samples is an important challenge in paleomagnetism. Volcanic rocks acquire a thermoremanent magnetization when they cool in the Earth's magnetic field that is proportional to the direction and strength of the magnetic field at the time of cooling. TRMs of natural rocks are often regarded to be the most reliable data source for geomagnetic field models because of their ability to store information on the paleomagnetic field fo… Show more
