Paleomagnetic samples were collected from a sill and dykes of Ferrar dolerite of the Jurassic age in the Wright Valley, the Allan Hills, the Carapace Nunatak and Mt. Fleming of the McMurdo Sound region. The stability of the natural remanent magnetization (NRM) of these samples was tested against the...
