SOME PALEOMAGNETIC INVESTIGATIONS IN THE FAROE ISLANDS

A b s t r a c t Magnetic zones of normal and reverse polarity measured in the field by means of a compass show the middle and upper lava series of the Tertiary Faroese basalts to be reversely magnetized, while in the lower lava series there are at least three magnetic zones of alternating polarity....
