Palaeomagnetic evidence for periods of intense oxidative weathering, McKinnons mine, Cobar, New South Wales

The McKinnons gold mine, ∼35 km southwest of Cobar in New South Wales is a non-operational opencut mine with extensive regolith profile development down to a depth of ∼80 m. Twenty-three oriented paleomagnetic samples, from saprolite at different leve
