Abstract:The paleodirection and paleointensity of the geomagnetic field are determined in seven andesibasalt–basalt samples from three lava flows (L1–L3) of the Avacha volcano. The reliability of the Thellier–Coe method for geomagnetic field paleointensity determination is demonstrated on the sample from the modern lava flow TTI-50 (the Tolbachik Fissure Eruption): the difference between the calculated Han and IGRF12 values is within 3% with a quality factor q 13. The age of lava flows L1–L3 is refined using paleomagn… Show more
