We describe a paleomagnetic study of Mid-Proterozoic sandstone of the Sakami Formation. The thermal demagnetization is more effective than by alternating field; this indicates that part of the magnetic memory is located in hematite. The mean direction of magnetization after thermal and alternating f...
