Comments on “Field-Strength Dependence of Directional Dispersion in Magnetizations of Sediment Samples: A Statistical Model and Paleomagnetic Evidence” by Hyodo and Itota
Abstract:Hyodo and Itota (1993) asserted that the relative paleointensity can be estimated from the directional dispersion of specimen magnetizations of sediment, based on a model that the directional dispersion of particle magnetic moments is dependent on the magnetic field intensity. In addition, they presented paleomagnetic data claimed to support their idea. However their statistical treatment is only qualitative and misleading by not taking account of experimental error. An alternative interpretation is shown for … Show more
