Examples of epigenetic hematite mineralization located at the margins of the East Irish Sea Basin have been sampled for palaeomagnetic investigation to establish the timing of ore formation. Samples collected from 10 sites in Cumbria are dominated by hematite of near-pure composition and characteriz...
